There’s something almost magical about a great collaboration. When two
artists are able to synchronize on an infinitesimal level, where each note and
breath and strum aligns to create a perfect whole. The Colorist Orchestra
know how to do this — in fact, they’ve made it their speciality. Since 2013,
the Belgian duo (comprised of multi-instrumentalists and longtime friends
Aarich Jespers and Kobe Proesmans) have made a career out of reimagining
the discographies of a wide array of artists, using their background in pop,
electronic, and world music to transform the songs.
Recently, they have reconnected with acclaimed Icelandic singer-songwriter
Emilina Torrini, with whom they first collaborated in 2018 on the album The
Colorist Orchestra & Emiliana Torrini. This time, however, their project
exceeded even their own expectations.
In 2023, The Colorist Orchestra and Emiliana will release Racing the Storm, a
joint record that takes both artists to towering new heights. An album of all
original material, it melds TCO’s classical chamber pop roots with the power
and fragility of Emiliana’s understated songwriting.
