Estradasphere's "Palace of Mirrors Live" (2007 DVD) marks their second release since signing with The End Records in 2006. The Palace DVD's cinematic music and imagery connote a narrative that cuts across time, space, and genre. The line between cinema and album have been freshly blurred.



"Palace of Mirrors Live" is a psychedelic-sci-fi-gypsy-metal-jazz epic performed by the six

musicians of Estradasphere, a live-cinema projectionist, and an innovative visual team. As the themes of the music associate with the enigmatic video projections, a dynamic film

is created in which the members of Estradasphere are both the characters and the soundtrack orchestra. The mind melting Palace feature is counterbalanced by an entire

opening set of 60's foreign/domestic film music, cartoon and bebop jazz, anachronistic Classical music interpretations, channeling of a non-existant American truck commercial,

classic Estradasphere Gypsy Metal, and 50's Gospel favorites. Among the interpreted

composers are Raymond Scott, Nino Rota, Frederic Chopin, Camille Saint-Saƫns, Bud

Powell, Sam Cooke, and Bernard Herrmann.



Estradasphere's diverse instrumental and stylistic palette enables them to execute a vast array of orchestrations and even forge entirely new genres such as "Bulgarian Surf," "Romanian Gypsy-Metal," and "Spaghetti Eastern." After forming in Santa Cruz, California

in 1999, Estradasphere's first three studio albums were released on Trey Spruance's (Mr.

Bungle) Mimicry Records. Members of Estradasphere have also recorded and performed

with Spruance's current project, Secret Chiefs 3. Estradasphere's four studio albums, three

live concert DVD's, six international tours, and ongoing "psychedelic-cinema-thon" concerts

have earned them a loyal and growing following worldwide.
