Kingston University Stylophone Orchestra

Pocket synth collective Kingston University Stylophone Orchestra returns with an electro pop infused album committed Live To Tape At Visconti Studio...!  For the follow up to their sold-out 2022 album ‘Stylophonika’, also on Spun Out Of Control, inspired student and tutor collective Kingston University Stylophone Orchestra return to the campus’ Visconti Studio to lay down a collection of contemporary synth and electro pop classics – live to analogue tape.  Live To Tape At Visconti Studio mixes contemporary tracks such as Brian Eno’s Who Gives A Thought, with bygone era bangers including Kraftwerk’s The Robots, David Bowie’s Space Oddity and Tubeway Army’s Are ‘Friends’ Electric?  It even nods to the world of sci-fi film and TV soundtracks with pocket synth-infused interpretations of Blade Runner’s End Titles and the Doctor Who Theme, with accomplished all-new arrangements by Stylophone Orchestra leader Leah Kardos.  An experience that puts the listener in the room with the performers and a small invited audience as they’re recording, this release is the Orchestra at their most immediate and accessible.

 Released on Spun Out Of Control as a choice of two limited cassette tapes – choose from Synth Cape Purple or a bubblegum blue and pink split ‘Stylophonik’ shell – the artwork for Live To Tape At Visconti Studio is by series regular Eric Adrian Lee, with specially mastered audio for cassette and digital release by Antony Ryan.
