Orbiting Human Circus

Orbiting Human Circus is an idiosyncratic musical project that intertwines storytelling, music, and theatrical elements into a unique auditory experience. Spearheaded by the imaginative mind of Julian Koster, known also for his contributions to Neutral Milk Hotel and The Music Tapes, Orbiting Human Circus is an extension of Koster's fascination with storytelling, surreal landscapes, and the symbiosis of sound and narrative.

The releases by Orbiting Human Circus showcase an eclectic mix of musical styles and arrangements. From the serene and contemplative "It's So Peaceful in the Country," to the hauntingly beautiful "The Lost Angel," the project's works often evoke a sense of nostalgia and whimsy that invites listeners into a dreamlike realm. One can find traces of classical, jazz, and folk influences in their compositions, with tracks like "Quartet Plus Two" and "Into the River Thames (Quartet Version)" showcasing the project's knack for organic and instrumental richness. The poignant narratives and intricate soundscapes crafted by Orbiting Human Circus have solidified their place as a distinctive voice in the world of experimental and narrative-driven music.
