Q&A: Pierre Dorge
Q&A: Pierre Dorge
July 27th, 2007We caught up with the Aussie musician for a quick conversation about his band, Pierre Dorge & The New Jungle Orchestra, and their upcoming show (see +music, this page).
Tell us about the band.
Normally, when you go to a brass concert its not very theatrical—there’s no show. But we like to interact with the audience.
How would you describe your sound?
Sometimes it goes into free improvisation, sometimes it’s like a reggae West African sound, and then suddenly it turns soft and beautiful.
Do you have sets prepared in advance?
We have more than 100 songs in our repertoire. But we can just as well suddenly improvise.
