Kaleidoscope Orchestra Drops New Single ‘Through the Clouds’
Kaleidoscope Orchestra are back with a spellbinding new single, Through the Clouds, a track that effortlessly fuses orchestral grandeur with the textures of dream pop and electronic energy. This release marks a key moment in the lead-up to their debut album of original music, Moments Between, arriving later this year.
The story behind Through the Clouds is as compelling as the music itself. Composed by Steve Pycroft in 2019 during a flight from Aberdeen to London, the track was inspired by the awe and liberation of soaring through the skies. Longtime collaborator Alex Dee joined the project, writing lyrics inspired by witnessing his son open his eyes for the first time—a perspective that reshaped the song into a deeply emotional journey.
After months of experimentation with grooves and arrangements, the track was fully re-orchestrated in 2024, introducing a distinctive “4 over 6” drum groove and lush new recordings, resulting in a cinematic, emotive soundscape. The finished version is a perfect showcase of Kaleidoscope Orchestra’s signature ability to merge contemporary electronic influences with symphonic richness.
Through the Clouds is a testament to KO’s ongoing evolution as a collective. Known for their bold reinterpretations of artists such as Fred Again.., Avicii, and The Prodigy, and for collaborations with Cream, Skrillex, and Camelphat, the group now turns its visionary approach to original compositions. The single hints at an album exploring themes of joy, struggle, memory, and the human condition—an ambitious, heartfelt statement from a group already known for their cinematic musicality.
Kaleidoscope Orchestra are redefining what modern orchestral music can be, and Through the Clouds is proof that their journey is only just beginning.
London-born, South Africa-based folk artist Seth Tabatznik unveils his latest single, “Shining For Love”, a luminous and heartfelt composition that celebrates life, love and the natural world.
Built around layers of atmospheric acoustic guitars, devotional strings, soft shakers, and Seth’s evocative vocal delivery, “Shining For Love” captures a sense of reverence that feels timeless. Each element moves with intention, allowing the song to bloom from a whisper into a radiant, full-bodied expression of gratitude and connection.
“This song came to me in a forest, spoken by the elements around me”, Seth shares. “It was like nature took my pen and transcribed the lyrics into my notebook, accompanied by a simple four-chord progression. I love how the song builds and accelerates as a celebration of life, love, and nature. Every sound, every movement, is her way of expressing herself as she is one being, of which we are a part, not apart.”
Now based in the Western Cape mountains of South Africa, Seth’s music is steeped in a deep respect for the land and the lessons it offers. His work bridges folk traditions, medicine music, and contemporary songwriting, echoing influences from Bon Iver, Noah Kahan, and Nick Mulvey, who also mentored Seth during the development of his forthcoming album.
With “Shining For Love,” Seth Tabatznik continues to carve his own path; one defined by warmth, sincerity and an unwavering devotion to the beauty of being alive.
