SATELLITE TURNTABLE ORCHESTRA

available

  • In this live experience, the audience is seated at 50 turntable stations which include a set of harmonic tone vinyl, an effects pedal, and a record player. Through subtle lighting changes in the room, the audience is cued to play along, creating dynamics and completing harmonies at key moments in the songs.

    The Satellite Turntable Orchestra is deliberately slow, meditative, emergent, and creative, where participants are integral to the soundtrack as the story unfolds. Accompanying Kid Koala, audience members become an ambient vinyl orchestra, melding their individual strains into a fluid body of sound. No prior turntable experience necessary, and all ages welcome!

“The show flew in the face of every cliché ever thrown at DJs: it was spontaneous, emotional, interactive and completely live.” — NowToronto

“Walking into The Rivoli on Thursday night (January 26), you couldn't help but feel like you'd won a golden ticket to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. And in a way, you had…” — Exclaim

“…scratches that swoosh past like gusts of wind, noises that clatter like machinery, garbled chatter that sounds like it’s being beamed in from a faraway satellite. It’s in these small moments that Koala leverages his greatest strengths.” — Pitchfork
