Bio

The Orchestrion formed in September of 2008. Evan and Spencer met on a percussion festival excursion in 2004 and began a freestyle rap night. A few years later, Evan joined a project Spencer was involved with. This project was to become The Orchestrion. Kris recorded bass for a session and was promptly recruited.

Spencer picked up the guitar at age 10. His family moved quite a bit in the Dallas Fort Worth area. This invoked a stronger attachment to the instrument. He found music was a great way to channel energies of hope, anger, and a way to grow within. Moving up to Seattle in 2001, he played in a collective of closely knit musicians. In that community, Spencer began his creative song writing endeavors.

Kris was born in northern Minnesota. He found his way to music at 13, playing saxophone and later bassoon. From 6 to 15, Kris identified with a plethora of music. His search for more put him to work at a record shop in Minneapolis. Upon moving to Seattle in 2002, he played in a variety of bands from funk to psychedelic hardcore. As a barista in audio engineering school, Kris offered to record The Orchestrion. Currently, Kris plays bass in two Seattle-based bands and mixes live and production sound around the Seattle area, slowly checking goals off of the great list of life.

Evan began his music career in Tacoma, WA at age 9 with the piano. After a short stint with the flute he discovered percussion. His love for hitting things lead him through concert bands, symphonies, and percussion ensembles. He began writing hip hop beats at 20 and was involved with a couple of hip hop endeavors. When Spencer said he needed a drummer, Evan hit it up.
