The Cinematic Orchestra is a British-based jazz and electronic outfit, created in the late 1990s by Jason Swinscoe, which records on the Ninja Tune record label. Other members include saxophonist/pianist Tom Chant, bassist Phil France, drummer Daniel Howard; past members have included Luke Flowers, Jamie Coleman, T. Daniel Howard and Alex James. In both live and studio context, the Cinematic Orchestra employ a live band which improvises along with a turntabilist and electronic elements such as samples provided by Swinscoe. In their studio releases Swinscoe will often remix the live source material to produce a finished product that is seamless combination of live jazz improvisation with electronica, such that it is difficult to tell where the improvisation ends and the production begins. Cinematic Orchestra have been noted for their new soundtrack to the classic 1929 Dziga Vertov Russian film Man with the Movie Camera.
