Bill Nelson’s Orchestra Futura: Live at Nelsonica and Clothworkers Hall
Live at Nelsonica and Clothworkers Hall will be released generally on 14 February 2026.
Dear Friends
The brand new album ‘Bill Nelson’s Orchestra Futura: Live at Nelsonica and Clothworkers Hall’ is finally ready – recorded, edited, mixed and mastered.
It is time to get it ready to send out into the world. Orchestra Futura is a unique trio of musicians, assembled by legendary guitarist and songwriter/producer Bill Nelson. The group performed at various ‘Nelsonica’ conventions between 2006 and 2012 and a few other select performances but this is the first recorded release by the group. This album has been a long time coming and we are very excited to finally be releasing it into the world. If any of you saw the trio live, this album is surely a must!
The music is a collection of atmospheric improvisations, hypnotic looped alto flutes, fretless bass grooves, experimental electronic music, and all topped with Bill Nelson’s extraordinary guitar playing. Undoubtedly a musically ambitious set, wide ranging, instrumental based and without boundaries. We hope you like it as much as we enjoyed making it. With cover image by Bill Nelson and Design and photos by Martin Bostock.
But we need your help for the final stage of the process. We need you to be a part of our team as we are making the album completely independently on Theo Travis’ own Ethersounds label. Your help and contribution will be hugely appreciated.
To cover the considerable costs of making and releasing the album and so that we, the musicians, will actually get paid for it we are offering some special packages to raise funds. To help you decide, you can have an exclusive sneak preview of a track from the album ‘Pixels by Moonlight’ below:
