Phantom Orchard Ensemble - Through The Looking-Glass (2014)

Expanding their duo into a sextet with the addition of strings, piano and voice, Ikue and Zeena have created a compelling and varied soundscape inspired by fairy stories the world over. Combining plucked and bowed strings, sinuous vocals, driving percussion and Ikue Mori’s trademark electronics into a balanced and unified whole, Through the Looking-glass is a kaleidoscope of exotic and beautiful sonorties filled with drama, mystery and a modern orchestral sweep.
