Orka
Livandi Oyda
Hailing from the remote cliffs, panoramic views and "hidden" civilisation of the Faroe Islands Orka was always bound to be different but the fact that these boys build their own instruments is what makes them truly unique ! As well as the original live material, the record features remixes by The Third Eye Foundation, Bookworms, Oktopus/Deadverse, and Com-Data. Included with the release is a DVD with two music videos, two live videos, from the concert on New Years Eve and a short documentary explaining how the instruments were made. 2008 has seen the beginning of a European hype surrounding the band. A hype that started on the basis of their first ever gig outside the Faroe Islands at the Atlantic Soundscapes showcase in Brussels. ORKA has since this gig landed booking deals in Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, Austria and Germany, been booked for several central European festivals and will play 5 times with Yann Tiersen at this years prestigious 30th anniversary of the Transmusicales Festival in France.
