Biamp Portland Jazz Festival: Orions Belte
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Some places and moments tie people together forever, whether it be a place, a song or something you can't quite define through words. The origins of Orions Belte stemmed from one of those mystical moments in time which spawned a lasting creative connection. The first time all three members, Øyvind, Chris and Kim, met up to work on ideas, they recorded their entire first album together over a weekend. Orions Belte uses the band as a platform to explore different aspects of what an instrumental band can be, resulting in everything from separate solo albums, live recordings from digital streams in the Norwegian nature, EPs containing eccentric covers, and studio albums that create soundscapes that pull you in and draw out emotions in ways that only they know how. Their strong connection inspires them to write natural and authentic music, focusing on strong melodies and grooves resonating with their worldwide fanbase. Described by Atwood Magazine as "an eclectic fusion of disparate styles and exciting sounds that says what it wants to say through memorable melodies, ambient drones, and a stockpile of wicked guitar riffs."
