About Me |
|
| Putumayo records is putting out a dance remix of one of our tunes on an upcoming Balkan dance music CD. Upcoming tours include North Carolina, South Carolina and Knoxville, Scotland, Sweden and France! "The balancing of frenzy and finesse is evidently a trademark Luminescent Orchestrii approach, displayed to its utmost in the insanely frenetic dance tunes... The three violins flirt willfully with a cacophony teasingly offset by elegant classical flourishes, swirling and eddying above the rhythm section's bruisingly aggressive but sharply-aimed attack." **** (four star review at The Edinburgh Fringe 2005) -THE SCOTSMAN. Romanian gypsy melodies, punk frenzy, salty tangos, hard rocking klezmer, haunting Balkan harmony, hip-hop beats and Appalachian fiddle, all eaten and spit out by three violins, resophonic guitar, bullhorn harmonica and 3/4 Argentinian bass. The Luminescent Orchestrii has developed a reputation for ecstatic live performances and infectious onstage energy.
