ORKESTR is a space rock band from Horst aan de Maas, The Netherlands, that combines textured synths, melodic bass guitar and laid-back drums to create timeless soundscapes for your sci-fi dreams.
“Stylistically and conceptually, ORKESTR have delivered one of the most creatively constructed albums we heard this year.” Weirdoshrine “One of the most beautiful records I’ve heard this year.” George Florakis - Athens Voice“(ORKESTR’s) retrofuturist yacht prog-psych is the wave of things to come.” The Obelisk
ORKESTR was formed in late 2019 by four seasoned musicians who earned their stripes in the local scene with bands such as No Man’s Valley and The Mothmen. The COVID-19 pandemic presented an unexpected challenge, forcing them to pivot and focus on their studio craft.
This unplanned detour eventually led to the creation of their debut album “I” which was released on September 6th 2024 and presented through GKW-I, a Gesamtkunstwerk of film, music and theater at a local quarry. These two very well-attended and extremely positively received events put ORKESTR on the map not only as a band, but also as a creative force to be reckoned with. With this, the future looks bright for ORKESTR – or should we say, the retrofuture?
