The Cinematic Orchestra is a British-based jazz and electronic outfit, created in the late 1990s by Jason Swinscoe, which records on the Ninja Tune independent record label. Other members include former DJ Food member, PC (Patrick Carpenter) on turntables, saxophonist / pianist Tom Chant, bassist Phil France, drummer Daniel Howard; former members include Luke Flowers (drums), Jamie Coleman (trumpet), T. Daniel Howard (drums) and Alex James (piano). In both live and studio context, The Cinematic Orchestra employ a live band which improvises along with a turntabilist and electronic elements such as samples provided by Swinscoe. In their studio releases Swinscoe will often remix the live source material to produce a finished product that is seamless combination of live jazz improvisation with electronica, such that it is difficult to tell where the improvisation ends and the production begins. The Cinematic Orchestra have been noted for their new score to the classic 1929 Dziga Vertov Russian film Man with the Movie Camera. According to Ninja Tune sources, The Cinematic Orchestra is currently recording a new album that will be released in June 2006.
