New Music: Orchestra

           

Bryan Ferry is planning to release a collaborative album with the artist/writer/painter Amelia Barratt. Arriving in March, Loose Talk showcases 11 texts composed by Barratt, which are set to music by Ferry. The pair first teased their partnership last year with the release of "Star," Today, Barratt and Ferry are sharing a new song, "Orchestra." Barratt adds: Loose Talk is a conversation between two artists: a collaborative album of music by Bryan Ferry with spoken texts by me. It's cinematic; music put to pictures. There’s possibility for experimentation within a frame. And there's a freedom in knowing exactly what my part to play is, then being able to pass a baton, stretching out creatively and knowing there is someone on the other side to take it further. Nothing feels off limits. The video was filmed and directed by Bryan Ferry and James Garzke.
