Estradasphere's diverse instrumental (violin,contrabass, jazz/metal guitar, accordion, drums, clavinet, trumpet, organ, shamisen) 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 as well as John Zorn's Masada and Cobra. Estradasphere will be touring in 2007-2008 as the backup and opening  band for the solo project of Amanda Palmer from the Dresden Dolls, in addition to producing tracks for her upcoming solo releases. In addition to music production and performance Estradasphere have scored a number of film/game soundtracks including the film Star Slyderz (2006 Funny Farm Films, http://www.starslyderz.com), and the game score to Gish (2005, Chronic Logic, http://www.chroniclogic.com), winner of the 2005 IGF Grand Prize Seamus McNally Award. 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.

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 as we hereafter refer to the DVD as "the movie."

"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-Saëns, Bud Powell, Sam Cooke, and Bernard Herrmann.
