Lineup
The group is a quintet:
The artistic director of the group, composer Per Störby, is known for electro acts such as Zeigeist and Pearl Fiction. New Tide's music is a unique mix of baroque music, nuevo tango, free improvisation, minimalism, post minimalism and contemporary classical music. They are known for their special sound with lots of dynamic. In 2010, they were awarded "Group Of The Year" in the Swedish folk and world music gala.
The "New Tide Orquesta" name was first introduced in the music documentary/concert "New Tide Orquesta - The River Session", produced by Fredrik Egerstrand and Kalle Gustafsson Jerneholm for broadcast on Swedish national television (SVT) in 2012. The word "tango" was replaced with "tide" because the group felt that they had "grown out of the tango suit" and needed to develop their music without boundaries and obligations.
Discography
They have released five albums as New Tango Orquesta and one as New Tide Orquesta:
The third album "Bestiario" was nominated for a Swedish Grammy award in 2005. The fourth album was recorded in the beautiful October Palace in Kiev, Ukraine in 2008. Their fifth album "Vesper" won an award for "experimental of the year" in the Swedish Manifest gala in 2011.
In 2011, they released the book "Full Scores/Photos/Text" with the complete full scores for "Vesper", text by the Swedish dramatist Mattias Brunn, art front cover by the Swedish artist Ernst Billgren and collected photos from the bands tours and performances. A sixth album "How To Climb A Mountain", their first album under the name "New Tide Orquesta", was released October 24, 2012 on HOOB Records.
