Tell us a little bit about what you do.
My name is Orches. It’s pronounced like Orchestra, but takeaway the ‘tra’.
I make beats, sing and play synths.
What do you reckon people will say you sound like?
Rock, electronica, the odd hip hop beat with vocals on top. A punter once said, “It’s like Chet Faker but with more electronica.”
What do you love about making music?
There are no rules, particularly when writing with a computer.
What do you hate about the music industry?
Reality television mentality: “Why don’t you go on a TV show?” And musos being exploited.
If you could travel back in time and show one of your musical heroes your stuff, who would it be and why?
Roy Orbison, because he can write a tune – a very good tune at that.
If you could assassinate one person or band from popular music, who would it be and why?
I’ve never understood the Counting Crows and their lead singer. To much “Shal-la-la-las” and “oh yeah, uh huhs” for me.
What can a punter expect from your live show?
Synth jams, big beats, a good line up of bands and no Counting Crows.
What’ve you got to sell music-wise?
I have an EP that you can purchase via www.orches.bandcamp.com. Grab a freebie via my Unearthed page.
