Booking The Cinematic Orchestra

The Cinematic Orchestra is a British musical project led by Jason Swinscoe, known for blending jazz, classical, electronica, and experimental sound into a genre-defying sonic world. Formed in the late 1990s, the group emerged from the UK electronic scene with a completely different approach to live performance: instead of sequenced tracks, they built songs from improvisation, real instruments, and emotional storytelling. Their debut instantly set them apart, and over time their sound became iconic — rich orchestration, hypnotic rhythms, and soul-stirring compositions.

What defines The Cinematic Orchestra is their ability to make music feel like a film without the visuals. Each track unfolds with subtle tension, atmosphere, and emotional weight. Their use of strings, live drums, double bass, and minimal electronic textures creates a sense of space and depth rarely found in contemporary music. Vocals, when present, are intimate and poetic, turning songs into emotional monologues.

Their albums became cultural touchstones, with tracks that have reached millions of listeners and appeared in films, documentaries, and global campaigns. Yet, despite their international influence, The Cinematic Orchestra stay true to a handcrafted approach. Every note feels intentional, every silence meaningful.

Live, the group delivers a transcendent experience. Their concerts are immersive — elegant lighting, dynamic improvisation, and a level of musicality that holds the audience in complete focus. They don’t simply perform songs; they build emotional journeys.

The Cinematic Orchestra is not just a band. It is an atmosphere, a feeling, a cinematic universe expressed through music.
