Prince Enoki’s Insect Orchestra on Youtube
Big, big thanks to my friend Karl Leung for making these beautiful videos of our show at the Phoenix. Check out his site!
Insect Orchestra- Friday, April 15 @ Phoenix
Prince Enoki’s Insect Orchestra is a 9 piece afro-space-jazz ensemble, led by me: bassist and throat-singer Scott Peterson. Inspired by worldwide indigenous music and the earth’s natural soundscapes, the Insect Orchestra takes listeners from Asia to the Amazon, with a stop in Africa along the way. Amazonian grass bundle, glass bottles and tambouras blend with upright bass, overtone singing, interlocking guitars, deep drums, percussion, tuba & baritone saxophone to evoke long nights in a smoky jungle.
