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
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Carried on angel's wings to human birth
Born of love or born of hate
Each one is heaven sent to human fate
Dream
Little girl, dream
Dream
Dream
In joy and pain each one will grow
For wisdom is so much more than what we know
And every child will find their way
Of living the whole life story day by day
Dream
Little girl, dream
Dream
Little boy, dream

The lyrics of "Time Space" by The Cinematic Orchestra ft. Lou Rhodes are a profound exploration of the human experience. The first two lines signify the belief in a higher power or divine intervention, where every soul is sent to earth carrying a purpose. The reference to angels carrying souls to human birth represents the idea that every human being is a creation of a divine power. The third line, "Born of love or born of hate," could be interpreted as a comment on how our surroundings shape us, and how one's experience can impact the choices they make throughout their life.
The chorus of "Dream, little girl, dream, dream, little boy, dream, dream" is a statement of hope and encouragement, urging people to dream and aspire to their goals. The following line, "In joy and pain, each one will grow," is a nod towards the fact that life is a mixed experience with ups and downs, but through it all, we develop as individuals. The line, "For wisdom is so much more than what we know," informs the listener that the knowledge we gain from our experiences is much more valuable than what we learn in books. Finally, the phrase, "And every child will find their way, of living the whole life story day by day" emphasizes the idea that every person is on their unique path and must navigate their life story daily.
