Orbit Folks

With Orbit Folks bassist-composer Martijn Vanbuel brings out his own brainchild and at the same time introduces his first album published in Belgium. This ‘global citizen’ lived a.o. in Paris, Shanghai and Taipei, and worked at high levels with notables in jazz, pop and world music. In the project Orbit Folks Martijn combines all of these influences into his own whimsical universe, for which he borrows sounds, rhythms and colours from every corner of the musical world. Orbit Folks presents filmic music, often longer compositions, but groove-based and with enough space for improvisation. Think intelligent and hypnotic world-jazz-rock, somewhere in the middle between Weather Report, Tortoise and Jaga Jazzist.
