The Blackheart Orchestra is officially the smallest orchestra in the world. Two people perform in the centre of a circle of their 13 instruments described as a ‘musical space station’. Their music combines Chrissy Mostyn’s ethereal vocals with multi-layered combinations of acoustic and rock instrument, plus keyboards including and their collection of vintage synthesisers.
Chrissy and multi-instrumentalist Rick Pilkington draw on their backgrounds in rock, folk, electronica and classical music to create a sound which is simultaneously symphonic and psychedelic, classical and totally contemporary. Their music has been compared to early Pink Floyd, Portishead and Kate Bush, as well as classical artists such as Philip Glass.
