The UNORTHODOXJUKEBOX O. improvisation orchestra for contemporary & avant-garde music is a collectiv currently consisting of 23 musicians divided into 5 instrumental sections.
In 2016, Marco von Orelli, Benjamin Brodbeck and Kaspar von Grünigen had the idea of bringing together various improvising micro-scenes in Basel to form something larger and organized a spontaneous gathering. The cross-generational orchestra UNORTHODOXJUKEBOX O. developed from this.
The orchestra members come from all corners of the Basel music scene: new music, jazz, improvised music, electronic music, early music, experimental pop, contemporary music theatre....
The wealth of musical experience is also the concept of UJB O. - the collective is at the centre and so since summer 2017 they have been working on various ideas: Space, shaping time, sonority, no rules of the game or strict compositional rules. But the most important factor remains the living organism: UNORTHODOXJUKEBOX O. is the sum of its parts, but also a particle accelerator: the individual voice always remains audible.
Marco von Orelli (Trumpet, Cornet, Composer) can be heard solo and with variuos formations and orchestras from different
styles. At the heart of his artistic work is improvisation, which is related to composed music in the field of contemporary music and creative jazz....more
