The Cinematic Orchestra formed in London in the late 1990s around Jason Swinscoe. Their music pulls from jazz, electronica, and classical elements, often building instrumental textures that feel cinematic. Their debut album 'Motion' came out in 2001.
They followed with albums like 'Every Day' in 2002 and 'Ma Fleur' in 2007. The track 'To Build a Home,' featuring Patrick Watson, became one of their most recognizable pieces. Other songs like 'That Home' and 'Breathe' share that spacious, patient quality.
Over time, the group has included musicians like Dominic Smith on guitar, Luke Flowers on bass, and drummer Tony Allen. They've avoided much public drama, quietly putting out records like 'A Cinematic Orchestra' in 2019.
