ORCHA is the project of innovative brainchild and Melbourne violinist/composer Matt Sheers. Combining the intricate sounds of the violin with rich beats, soaring vocals and moody ambience, it’s a constant exploration of harmonic possibilities into dreamlike, textured compositions.
Transcending the traditional boundaries of the violin, its world of sound goes far beyond the constraints of a single instrument. As an accomplished performer, ORCHA draws on a wealth of experience in electronic, folk, jazz and classical genres forming a pastiche of sound that stretches the violin into a new, ethereal and evocative realm of sound. It crosses the planes of acoustic and electronic with ease and simplicity, creating one of the most honest expressions of pure music-making, unique songwriting and brilliant musicianship.
