In 2022 we brought you... @hidden_orchestra ‘Archipelago: Source Materials’. ‘Archipelago: Source Materials’ celebrates the ten-year anniversary of the release of the experimental and highly praised ‘Archipelago’ LP by peeling back the curtain, highlighting its origins and how it was made. “I want to celebrate some of the performances that are under the surface of the original album, letting the instrumental compositions breathe”, Hidden Orchestra’s musical mastermind Joe Acheson explains. ‘Archipelago: Source Materials’ brings together Acheson’s favourite parts of the original album; honing the eerie atmospheres and thick orchestral textures Hidden Orchestra have become known for. With hints of birdsong and musical offerings from the worlds of Classical, Folk and Jazz, the finished product is a rich tapestry of diverse sounds, meeting in the middle at a fascinating point of genre crossover. . . . . . . #hiddenorchestra #archipelago #sourcematerials #sourcematerial #instrumental #orchestral #classical #folk #jazz #truthoughts #truthoughtsrecords #2022 #albums #albumoftheyear #albumsoftheyear
