about

originally released by the word hoard in 2009 as whcd003
tracks 5 & 6 are one take, so if you download the album for optimum listening pleasure set your player/burner so that there's no pause between them

“Orfeo 5 have created an album that has haunted my seedee player this last month. You can hear their influences (especially that of Parker) but not in any way that’s distracting or demeaning to either party. Jafrate’s saxophone alternates between atonality and lyricism with sublime ease and Blezard’s noises can be both unobtrusive and leading depending on the particular compositions.....Both players interlink almost seamlessly.....a mighty fine melding of breath, circuitry and oodles of ideas. Recommended.” Ian Holloway, Wonderful Wooden Reasons

about

orfeo 5's music is romantic and narrative and mysterious all at once, using a variety of beats and loops to create ... more excitement, and combining composed elements with improvisations. Theirs is a full sound in which the electronics shape the acoustic instruments into new structures, via improv, jazz, folk, dub, sound art & electronica. Music like a journey through a landscape or an unfolding story. less
