Matt Sheers has been playing violin for more than two decades - he picked up the instrument for the first time when he was eight, learning classical violin before studying jazz for university at the Box Hill Institute. ORCHA emerged out of a desire to go beyond the parameters of tradition, and push the instrument into exciting, innovative territory.
The latest single 'ATLAS', which released in April, is another taste from his forthcoming album. The song is a follow-up to his first two singles from the album; 'Reverie' released in in May 2019 and 'Depths' released in September 2019 and the culmination of two years and writing and recording. The album explores different states of mind such as isolation, joy and grief, focusing on the mysteries of the human experience, and the universe that ORCHA resides in. Brad spoke with Matt Sheers (ORCHA) on Arvos to unpack the upcoming album.
