Spaghetti Western Orchestra

Component identifier:

Content Summary:

Spaghetti Western Orchestra has its origins in Australia and was formerly the Ennio Morricone Experience. SWO are a quintet of musicians (Graeme Leak, Patrick Cronin, Boris Conley, Jess Ciampa, Shannon Birchall and director/designer Denis Blais) who perform music from spaghetti westerns. Armed with over 100 instruments, these brilliant musicians perform a fistful of Ennio Morricone classics from the movies that made Clint Eastwood a star. The stunning soundtracks include The good, the bad and the ugly, For a few dollars more and Once upon a time in the West. This ingenious gang of comic maestros underscore these iconic compositions with hilarious sound effects... blowing on bottles, crushing cornflakes, 'playing' coathangers, apples, squeaky toys, rubbergloves, bicycle pumps, nailclippers and many more - recreating every punch up, gunshot, and jangling spur that define the gun slinging west.
