The Sound 8 Orchestra is the project from the multi-instrumentalist Matthias Wyder. The music spans the genres of easy listening, low budget lounge music, retro-futuristic B-movie soundtracks und psychedelic electro sounds to create a sound that is somewhere between Lee Perry, Add N To X, Sun Ra und James Bond Soundtracks. Supported by a live drummer, Wyder’s keyboard sounds are played to a synchronised backdrop of found-footage films projected from three Super 8 projectors. This combines for an audio visual experience which is different for each concert.
The “Sound 8 Orchestra” has so far released three albums and two singles: “Golden Memories” (2007), “Nonstop Dancing” (2011), “Vinyl Single” (2013) all on Langusta Entertainment. “Stylophone “(2015) Flexidisc Postcard on Grand Marquis Phone. A new Album “Grooves from another Galaxy” is out April 2017.
