Hidden Orchestra is the solo studio project of multi-instrumentalist composer/producer Joe Acheson, currently based in Brighton.
The album recordings feature a wide variety of guest musicians from different musical backgrounds, recorded separately, and combined by Joe to create an ‘imaginary orchestra’ that doesn’t really exist.

The music combines all the different musical traditions Joe has been involved in – years of Classical training (composing from an early age, singing in choirs and playing in orchestras), whilst at the same time playing in all kinds of bands and ensembles, DJing and producing.

By tapping into the energy of virtuoso drum solos and adding music and sounds that are dark and beautiful, he creates haunting and uplifting Electronic music made without synthesisers – using only acoustic instruments, drums, field recordings and natural sounds to build intense, beat-driven Classical textures with layers of energy, emotion and atmosphere.
