Skrillex, Starrah & Four Tet - Butterflies | Kaleidoscope Orchestra version
Back in 2011 I was introduced to Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites by Skrillex. It changed my perception of music. The incredible energy, the amazing beats and the beautiful melodies gave me the idea of reimagining electronic music with an orchestra. Although It wouldn’t be the first time an orchestra had played non-classical music (Miguel Atwood-Ferguson’s Suite for Ma Dukes is a masterpiece!), hearing Skrillex’s music inspired me. My aim was to form an orchestra to bridge the gap between musical genres - through the orchestral recreation of genres like dubstep and drum & bass. The first project we attempted was my Skrillex Suite which we recorded back in 2012. It was the start of our journey as an orchestra and I’m so grateful to Skrillex and the impact his music had on me then - and continues to have on me to this day. He’s recently released 2 new albums and one of them features a track called “Butterflies”. Hearing it gave me the same incredible and inspiring feelings I had hearing his music for the first time, so I wanted to show my gratitude by writing an orchestral version - which we recorded last year. Thank you @Skrillex for sharing your music with the world and inspiring so many. I hope one day I can fulfil my dream and collaborate with you.

Tribute to Avicii - Kaleidoscope Orchestra
Follow us on instagram ▶ https://goo.gl/H7UVDB Like our Facebook Page ▶ https://goo.gl/Tq77gT Subscribe to our channel ▶ https://goo.gl/HRVsRS ‘But you musicians have the best job in the world, how could you possibly be depressed?’ Sound familiar? Whether or not you’ve thought or heard something like this, the fact remains that 71% of musicians believe they have experienced anxiety or panic attacks and 65% report that they have at some point suffered from depression*. This week is Mental Health Awareness week, and here at Kaleidoscope Orchestra we’re marking it with a suite based on tunes by the late Swedish DJ and producer, Avicii. Musicians’ mental health is becoming a topic of increased interest, and Avicii’s story is one that resonated with musicians worldwide back in April, when he was found dead at the age of just 28. He appeared to have it all: millions of fans, huge worldwide hits, festival bookings across the globe. However, out of the spotlight, his family tell a different story, describing him as an ‘over-achieving perfectionist,’ who ‘could not go on any longer.’ Before retiring from touring, Avicii would often play two shows in one night, despite reportedly never liking being in the spotlight. The music may be different, but classical musicians and pop musicians have many things in common: whilst perfectionism often drives us, it can be the thing most holding us back. Many aspiring and professional musicians have a ‘binge-purge work schedule,’- times where there’s barely time to eat between gigs … and times where there’s barely money to eat between gigs. Perfectionism and uncertainty of work, combined with antisocial working hours and the attitude that ‘musicians shouldn’t be depressed,’ creates a culture of silence that can be, and needs to be broken. We love our jobs, but let’s keep breaking the silence around musicians’ mental health. 0808 802 8008: Music Minds Matter, a 24/7 mental health helpline for the whole music community. 116 123: Samaritans, a general mental health helpline if you need someone to talk to. Visit Mind.org.uk or time-to-change.org.uk for general mental health advice. Also BBC Newsbeat just launched a new helpline for people in the music industry https://goo.gl/iq84Wh *Source: Help Musicians UK: Can music make you sick? (2016) 2211 respondents.
