Formerly known as Joe Acheson Quartet, Hidden Orchestra combine two live drummers and deep basslines with strong jazz and classical influences, to make cinematic, emotive, percussive, next generation music using traditional instrumentation and organic samples. The band may occupy a musical stratum all on their own, but you can detect influences as diverse as Aphex Twin, Debussy, Xploding Plastix, Radiohead, Squarepusher, Madlib and Gene Krupa.

Hidden Orchestra’s debut album, Night Walks, showcases the energetic originality with which they emulate electronic music via acoustic means. The album was funded by the Scottish Arts Council, and features a selection of distinguished Scottish jazz/folk/classical guest musicians. It is due for release on Brighton-based independent label Tru Thoughts in September.
