Unravelled Broken Orchestra is an avant garde ensemble based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. With a core of regular players (Christopher Friesen, Terence Fuller, Jaret McNabb, Fletcher Pratt, Robert Turnbull) and an open door policy to others, they create unique soundscapes that are equally inspired by Miles Davis and Sonic Youth. Their debut cd Centre of the Universe in Reverse was independently released late 2005. They recently revised their name to..."broken orchestra of winnipeg"

Famous quotes containing the words broken and/or orchestra:
“... this nation is rotten at the heart, and ... nothing but the most tremendous blows with the sledge-hammer of abolition truth, could ever have broken the false rest which we had taken up for ourselves on the very brink of ruin.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
““Pop” Wyman ruled here with a firm but gentle hand; no drunken man was ever served at the bar; no married man was allowed to play at the tables; across the face of the large clock was written “Please Don’t Swear,” and over the orchestra appeared the gentle admonition, “Don’t Shoot the Pianist—He’s Doing His Damndest.””
