Loch Lomond

Long a popular fixture of the Portland music landscape, Loch Lomond effortlessly combines their symphonic nature with chamber-pop melodies. The six to nine performers orchestrate instruments to provoke a visceral experience that is both raw and emotional, weaving the distinct use of mandolin, theremin and saw along with the traditional indie instrumentation. Luring the listener with the unique range and power of his voice, Ritchie Young's vocal ability enables him to switch from fragility to thunder in the turn of a phrase.

Whitley

There are two artists by the name of Whitley listed on Last.fm: 1) Whitley is an artist from Melbourne, Australia. Whitley seamlessly blends organic acoustic flavours with electronic overtones creating songs with hushed, whimsical tales of love and loss.

Whitley’s previous incarnations in hardcore and punk bands were tempered when he was dragged along to see alt-country stars Keiran Cane and Kevin Welsh by a friend’s dad.

Pavlo Beznosiuk

Pavlo is partly Irish and partly Ukrainian. Maybe that's what makes him so versatile? The violin, viola, medieval fiddles, he plays almost any instrument with the same virtuosity. He is praised for his style, well known as soloist, chamber musician and concert master.
The number of period instrument orchestras he has lead are so many, that it is hard to decided to mention which. The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and The Acadamy of Ancient Music are just two of them.

Inflagranti

K myšlence založit kapelu, která by používala klasické smyčcové nástroje v elektrické podobě a kombinovala by klasickou a moderní hudbu, došla zakladatelka kapely Markéta Muzikářová v letech 2002-2003, kdy se se svým klasickým smyčcovým kvartetem HarmOny účastnila turné Rýmování o životě. (Lucie Bílá, Hana Hegerová, Jaromír Nohavica atd.). Zde potkala i Petra Maláska, a pod dojmem spolupráce s jeho kapelou začala uvažovat o zmodernizování svého kvarteta.
