   About The Bedroom Orchestra
Biography

The Bedroom Orchestra is the alter ego of Leeds based singer/songwriter Tristan Mackay.

Tristan has risen in popularity while busking professionally in Leeds over the last 18 months and in that time he released two completely independent EP's: 'Tales from a Bedroom Orchestra' and 'Live from the Lounge', a spoof live lounge session made using editing and overdubbing to create a fake interview/performance with Jo Whiley.

Tristan's music soon caught the attention of the powers that be and one of the songs from the 'Tales' EP was chosen to appear in the DVD release of the hit show 'Skins' after being recommended by fans. It can be heard on episode 4.

In late 2007, having caught the ear of various record companies, Tristan signed to Wales based Indie Label 'Red Kite Records' founded by Grammy award winning producer and engineer Martin Levin. Unfortunately the label closed before any recording took place, and Tristan is now pursuing another deal.

In 2008, Tristan's music was showcased on BBC Radio 2.

Forgot to say the ep we got on the night is great - we downloaded the cover artwork from your photos and printed it on card which makes the whole thing a bit more sturdy and permanent!
