PALACE OF MIRRORS LIVE - DVD out now! ORDER THE NEW DVD NOW from our online store www.lobefood.com Estradasphere's "Palace of Mirrors Live" (2007 DVD) marks their second release since signing with The End Records in 2006. The Palace DVD's cinematic music and imagery connote a narrative that cuts across time, space, and genre. The line between cinema and album have been freshly blurred..."Palace of Mirrors Live" is a psychedelic-sci-fi-gypsy-metal-jazz epic performed by the six musicians of Estradasphere, a live-cinema projectionist, and an innovative visual team. As the themes of the music associate with the enigmatic video projections, a dynamic film is created in which the members of Estradasphere are both the characters and the soundtrack orchestra. The mind melting Palace feature is counterbalanced by an entire opening set of 60's foreign/domestic film music, cartoon and bebop jazz, anachronistic Classical music interpretations, channeling of a non-existant American truck commercial, classic Estradasphere Gypsy Metal, and 50's Gospel favorites. Among the interpreted composers are Raymond Scott, Nino Rota, Frederic Chopin, Camille Saint-Saëns, Bud Powell, Sam Cooke, and Bernard Herrmann. Estradasphere's diverse instrumental and stylistic palette enables them to execute a vast array of orchestrations and even forge entirely new genres such as "Bulgarian Surf," "Romanian Gypsy-Metal," and "Spaghetti Eastern." After forming in Santa Cruz, California in 1999, Estradasphere's first three studio albums were released on Trey Spruance's (Mr. Bungle) Mimicry Records. Members of Estradasphere have also recorded and performed with Spruance's current project, Secret Chiefs 3. Estradasphere's four studio albums, three live concert DVD's, six international tours, and ongoing "psychedelic-cinema-thon" concerts have earned them a loyal and growing following worldwide.

Music:Member Since: 6/14/2004Band Website: estradasphere.com Band Members: Timb Harris (violin/trumpet) Jason Schimmel (guitar/banjo/keyboards/vocals) Tim Smolens (upright and electric bass/vocals) Kevin Kmetz (Tsugaru Shamisen/guitar/keyboards) Adam Stacey (accordion/keyboards/clavinet) and Lee Smith (drums/percussion) Palace of Mirrors Live DVD TRAILER on YouTube: "Making the Palace DVD has been Estradasphere's most fulfilling artistic collaboration thus far. We all felt collectively energized to challenge peoples definition of: "band," "live show," "album," and "movie." In our view these are all unnecessary distinctions. Our response has been to constantly push for higher standards in musicianship, production, and storytelling. The DVD is finally coming out Oct. 2nd and we just moved to Seattle to start a new multimedia recording studio/performance space. We're looking forward to meeting lots of classical, jazz, and folk musicians for use in future large ensemble recordings from Estradasphere and side projects. We are sitting on a lot of great recordings for future release and are planning a new show and hitting the road later this year opening for Amanda Palmer from the Dresden Dolls.
