Unravelled Broken Orchestra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unravelled Broken Orchestra is an avant garde ensemble based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. With a core of regular players (Christopher Friesen, Terence Fuller, Jaret McNabb, Fletcher Pratt, Robert Turnbull) and an open door policy to others, they create unique soundscapes that are equally inspired by Miles Davis and Sonic Youth. Their debut cd Centre of the Universe in Reverse was independently released late 2005. They recently revised their name to..."broken orchestra of winnipeg"
