CILICE ORCHESTRA is an unique instrumental project I wrote the music for. If you like Zappa, Steve Coleman, Meshuggah, Fredrik Thordendal Special Defects, Mike Patton, Animals As Leaders… this might be something for you.
I worked with some of the finest musicians in the jazz, impro and world music scène. Zapp4, Amsterdam Klezmer Band, Spinifex, Monsieur Dubois, New Collective Big Band, The Dutch Jazz Orchestra, KONG, to name a few.
THE ALBUM IS AVAILABLE THROUGH iTUNES, BUT BETTER… CONTACT ME FOR THE REAL DEAL, A HARDCOPY … AND IF YOU LIKE ME TO SIGN THE ALBUM, LET ME KNOW!
The combination of brutal polyrhytmic CILICE riffs with complex arrangements for horns and strings and leaving space for improvisation makes CILICE ORCHESTRA sounds unique. Contemporary classical music, jazz, djentmetal, industrial, soundscapes … it’s all there.
