Other members include Tom Chant (saxophone), Phil France (double bass), Luke Flowers (drums), Nick Ramm (piano), Stuart McCallum (guitar); former members include Jamie Coleman (trumpet), T. Daniel Howard (drums), Alex James (piano), and Patrick "PC" Carpenter (turntables).
In both live and studio context, the Cinematic Orchestra employ a live band which improvises along with a turntablist and electronic elements such as samples provided by Swinscoe. In their studio releases Swinscoe will often remix the live source material to produce a finished product that is a seamless combination of live jazz improvisation with electronics, such that it is difficult to tell where the improvisation ends and the production begins. It is worth mentioning that in the sound of the Cinematic Orchestra the role of traditional solo instruments, such as piano or wind instruments, is not the same as in traditional jazz; instead of performing intricate solos they provide a mature accompaniment environment and quite often there is more space for the drums and the double bass to have a lead role.
The Cinematic Orchestra have been noted for their new score to the classic 1929 Dziga Vertov's Ukrainian film "Man with a Movie Camera". They have worked on two other scores: they recorded some tracks for "Ils se marièrent et eurent beaucoup d'enfants" (2004) and made the music for the Disney Nature movie "The Crimson Wing" (2009).
The Cinematic Orchestra released their latest album "Ma Fleur" on 7th May 2007. The album features vocals from Patrick Watson, Fontella Bass and Lou Rhodes. In 2010 their compilation Late Night Tales followed.
They have started their own record label: Motion Audio Records. One record has been released by Lou Rhodes. More releases will follow, including Grey Reverend.

The Cinematic Orchestra Lyrics

The stars light up my life

Your love or your life

The stars light up my life

The sun
Light up my life
"The stars light up my life / So bright / Everlasting / The sun / Light up my life" - These are the opening lines to The Cinematic Orchestra's song Evolution. The lyrics are simple but powerful, depicting the ever-lasting beauty of the celestial bodies in the sky - the stars and the sun. The starlight is so bright and everlasting that it illuminates the singer's life. The sun, on the other hand, gives light to life itself.
As the song progresses, the singer goes on to say, "What I mean / The sun and dawn / Your love or your life / So bright / Everlasting". The lyrics here are open to interpretation but it appears that the singer is drawing a parallel between the sun and dawn, and the love one has in their life. The singer is saying that just like the rising sun and dawn, love too is bright and everlasting.
The repetition of the word "evolution" throughout the song seems to signify the progress of life, love, and everything else. The evolution of things might be slow, just like the rising sun, but it is a gradual process that brings enlightenment in its own time. The song is simple yet beautiful, and the lyrics seem to evoke a sense of comfort and reassurance.
