Orpheo McCord has traversed a wide musical landscape over the past 25 years as a percussionist and composer. He began his professional career drumming for legendary post-punk outfit, The Fall and later with Cass McCombs and Fool’s Gold. Since 2009 he has been an active member of the Grammy award-winning group Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. Their exuberant performances and critically acclaimed debut, Up From Below brought the ensemble international success.
Early on his path, Orpheo discovered a profound love for the sacred rhythms of Africa and an interest in their ceremonial roles inducing trance states. This drove him to further his musical studies in Ghana, Mali, Morocco, and Cuba. After several years of touring, the Magnetic Zeros took a hiatus giving Orpheo the space to move deeper into his long standing exploration of meditative and non-ordinary states of consciousness. This inspired him to develop unique sonic environments used to facilitate and activate these states both live and in the studio.
