Orchestra of Samples

The Seagull Theatre


Described as “ingenious and compelling” by The Times and “beautiful stuff” by Cerys Matthews on her BBC6 show, ‘Orchestra of Samples’ is a unique musical journey without borders, bringing together musicians and instruments from around the world.


For over a decade, Suffolk based ethno-sampling mavericks Addictive TV filmed recording sessions with hundreds of musicians internationally, all simply improvising, then sampled their field recordings to create new music of extraordinary fusions. Connecting cultures through music, the performance showcases a huge variety of instruments, many traditional, some rare and others newly-invented.


From desert villages in Senegal to mountain tops in India, and from parks in China to rooftops in Kazakhstan, Orchestra of Samples is an invitation to immerse yourself in mesmerising rhythmic dialogues with sampled musicians on screen and live musicians on stage! The artists will give a talk and Q&A before the performance.
