Music from another star. Something... well, let´s say, different... This orchestra is a really interesting upcoming ensemble from the Berlin jazz scene, that will perform at this year´s JazzBaltica. "Whoever claims to have heard anything like this before must be lying. The twenty-piece ANDROMEDA MEGA EXPRESS ORCHESTRA, led by 25-year-old Berlin based composer Daniel Glatzel, set off a firework of energy, musicality and fresh ideas and juggle genres, styles and musical references in a way that can make you dizzy. Jazz doesn't begin to describe it. We're talking about everything from minimalism to film scores, romanticism, modern classical music, and Bartok right through to Frank Zappa. Glatzel also cites computer games, the Second Viennese School, cartoons, Renaissance Polyphony, shabby infomercials and elevators in expensive hotels as influences." Look out for their first record called "Take Off":
