Orchestra of the Upper Atmosphere is an improvising rock group featuring
Martin Archer – organ, saxophones
Chris Bywater – keyboards, laptop
Terry Todd – bass guitar
Sarah Henderson – violin

Steve Dinsdale – percussion
Initial starting point for the group’s direction was the music of Magma, Sun Ra, Terry Riley, Faust and Amon Duul.
Opening group Juxtavoices is Martin Archer’s 25+ voice semi-improvising choir which has been amazing and surprising audiences in unexpected locations across the region since starting to perform in early 2011. By turns musical, poetic, theatrical and outrageous, this group is genuinely not like anything else you will have heard
