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.

That Home
The Cinematic Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where the stairs are leaning dusk 'till dawn,
Where the windows are breathing in the light,
Where the rooms are a collection of our lives,
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place that I call my home
In The Cinematic Orchestra's song, "That Home," the lyrics describe a home that is not just a physical space, but a place where memories and experiences are collected. The house seems to be alive, moaning and breathing, and the stairs are leaning as if they have been worn down by years of use. The imagery used in the song creates a feeling of nostalgia and warmth, as if we are remembering our own childhood homes where we felt safe and comfortable.
The lyrics also hint at a sense of loneliness and the need for connection. The line "This is a place where I don't feel alone" suggests that the singer is finding solace in the memories and history of the house, and that it provides a sense of belonging. The repetition of the phrase "This is a place that I call my home" emphasizes the importance of this feeling of home, and how it can shape our identity and sense of self.
Overall, "That Home" is a beautiful and introspective song that captures the emotional resonance of a physical space that can also hold emotional significance.
Line by Line Meaning
Where the doors are moaning all day long,
Where the doors emit a mournful noise constantly throughout the day,
Where the stairs are leaning dusk 'till dawn,
Where the stairs incline from evening until morning,
Where the windows are breathing in the light,
Where the windows allow the light to flow and create a breath-like effect,
Where the rooms are a collection of our lives,
Where the rooms contain a culmination of our experiences and memories,
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This location brings about a sense of belonging and connectedness for me,
This is a place that I call my home
This is a space that I consider my own and feel most comfortable in,
This is a place that I call my home
This is a space that I consider my own and feel most comfortable in,
