Forgotten Fish Memory Orchestra
«Forgotten Fish Memory Orchestra is a musical ‘art performance’ group which draws upon elements from a very wide spectrum of artistic disciplines, integrating them in a unified vision of music, theatre, performance art, installation, ritual and cultural crossover.
They were formed in 2001 in the Netherlands, although the orchestra members are from different parts of the world. Their music is a hybrid of original tunes , traditional folk melodies and experimental improvisations. Their instrumentation covers a whole gamut from European classical instruments such as cello, violin, contrabass, but also exotic instruments from around the globe…pipa, saz, bouzouki, qanun, bowed divan etc.They also utilise more left field types of instruments like theremin, singing saw and phono fiddle as well as unique instruments which they build themselves.»
«For this project all orchestra members took on fake names or ID, some random, some anagrams of their real names. For this project and for subsequent spin-off projects I have used the name Makmed the Miller»
