Info for Magnetic Ghost Orchestra

The album recorded by a 17-member music ensemble that moves between orchestral jazz and futuristic avant-garde pop with dynamics, bombast and depth. The experimental collective around bandleader and composer Moritz Sembritzki impresses on its second album with extensively orchestrated future jazz, which besides jazz elements also contains the herb-affine influence of bands like The Notwist or the sample-based Bristol pop of the 90s up to the noisy, electrifying improv jazz of the Berlin present. Two great singers are also involved, often in two voices in the song performance: Fini Bearman, who comes from jazz and London, and Aylin Winzenburg, a classically trained Berlin opera singer (mezzo-soprano). Indie pop has seldom sounded so jazzy, classical music has rarely been so lively, and jazz has seldom had such a mediating effect. A work that gives hope for overcoming cultural distances and resentments.

The "Magnetic Ghost Orchestra" is a line-up of 17 musicians, most of whom are based in the Berlin jazz scene.

Composer and guitarist Moritz Sembritzki conceives a music in which influences from jazz, avant-pop and electroacoustics combine to create a sound that is taken for granted.

The orchestra consists of two singers who are at home in jazz as well as classical music; two drummers whose grooves rock each other up; guitar, bass and synthesizers that create detailed harmonic textures and a 10-piece horn section that contributes big chords and virtuoso lines.

"The music is also a bit addictive. You don't want to wake up from these dreams so quickly." (Rainer Bratfisch, Jazzpodium)
