“for non-Montrealers the Ratchet Orchestra came as a revelation”
Stuart Broomer, Music Works – Winter 2011
“This set might have been my favorite of the fest, it was certainly the most focused and successful.”
Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery – June 2nd, 2011
.
The Orchestra recording at Hotel2Tango
.
.
To me large bands can resemble sports teams or worse, armies.
I want Ratchet to sound more like a party of typing monkeys.
.
Another Sun Ra tune: “EL IS ASOUND OF JOY”
.
….and “PLANET EARTH” from the Sunology Suite featuring Guido Del Fabbro
.
The Ratchet orchestra was formed by Nicolas Caloia in ther early 90′s.
.
Here is a track from 1997: “LEFT”
.
and one from 1994: “V.P.R.”
