People Open DS/UK/23138 Blackheart Orchestra (fl.2010s) Blackheart Orchestra fl.2010s Biriths pop duo Group (Mixed) Manchester, England (formed) British Music Group; Pop, duo Members: Chrissy Mostyn, Rick Pilkington The Blackheart Orchestra are a British singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist duo comprising long term collaborators Chrissy Mostyn and Richard Pilkington. The band blend musical styles in a non-conformist way seamlessly sidestepping boundaries to create their unique classically driven, emotion-drenched music. One moment their sound is minimalist and fragile weaving melodies and atmospherics with silence to create ethereal musical landscapes that leave audiences and critics describing their work as haunting, enchanting and captivating. Other times the pair create a mountain-like wall of sound using ancient synthesisers, electronic drums, acoustic, electric and bowed guitars and bass to create vast energetic symphonic climaxes. The band have drawn comparisons to Kate Bush, Ellie Goulding, London Grammar, Pink Floyd, Steve Reich and Ludovico Einaudi. https://www.facebook.com/pg/theblackheartorchestra/about/?ref=page_internal (2019) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 RAHAKirkbride 11/26/2019 Rachael.Fragola 3/1/2022 2d2d22a5-3993-42cd-8b43-636bc82fc13a
