The Amsterdam based Spinifex Orchestra displays a wide variety of styles and sounds, never loosing its unique rough and adventurous character. Intense collective improvisation, tight heavy metal, entchanting solos, crazy rhythms, rock and R&B, extreme dynamics, worldly sounds, extended instrumental techniques, intricate arrangements and compositions, are all part of their rich music. Spinifex Orchestra's debut cd Triodia was released in 2008 on Karnatic Lab Records!
