The London Ambient Orchestra are a community of improvisers and artists reflective of London’s rich cultural diversity. The collective features conservatory educated classical musicians together with members of Penguin Cafe Orchestra and collaborators with Lubomyr Melnyk & Tony Visconti, this is an orchestra but not as you know it… The LAO is an electroacoustic melange where classical instruments stand side by side with pedal
steel guitar, samplers and loops.

Born out of extended jams in back rooms of music conservatories and hidden DIY studio spaces in east London, the LAO has gone on to numerous accolades including: stand out sets at Wilderness Festival, a sell out show at London’s Stone Nest, collaborations with Erased Tapes artist Douglas Dare. As well as gaining the support of ambient music legend William Basinski.
The music of the LAO is a meditative and exploratory space for stillness, beauty and equanimity.
“This is gorgeous!” William Basinski
