Starship Syncopation (2025)

"Guitarist and producer Cory Wong has released his latest album today in collaboration with the Metropole Orkest. This unique project combines Wong’s characteristic funk sound with the rich orchestral tones of the Metropole Orkest. Cory Wong, known for his work with Vulfpeck and his solo projects, expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration: “Collaboration in its purest form means that both artists are involved and bring out something in each other that they could never achieve alone. That’s why I love to collaborate. It keeps my creative spirit running and inspired. A few years ago, I did a short series of concerts with the Metropole Orkest, and since then, we have discussed working on a project together. I have never seen an orchestra so versatile in playing both classical and groove-based music. I knew we could capture something very special if I brought them together with my band.” (bron: website Metropole Orkest)
