Album Notes

Flight Orchestra, born circa 2002 in Los Angeles California from David Wilson after he begged the band Arlo (then on Subpop) to take him on tour.

They agreed, Wilson packed his sampler and keyboards and played for anyone that would listen.

Upon returning to Los Angeles, Flight Orchestra formed up and performed regularly as a duo and sometimes trio. Then further were fortunate to share various stages with the likes of the Breeders , Ozma , Electric Eel Shock and many others within Los Angeles' hard working and prolific indie music scene.

During this time, Flight Orchestra began to carve his distinct sound.

In 2004 after arranging a “Drawing Straws Event” that pitted 12 bands in one room for an evening and required them to draw straws for the order of performance, he invited and struck a friendship with Octavius, who Flight Orchestra would go on to facilitate Club DATAAGE, a seminal club event based on the west coast, United States.

Resulting from his passionate involvement with Dataage, Flight Orchestra has had the distinct pleasure to perform with and be inspired by Thomas Fehlmann of the Orb , Flying Lotus , Cloud Archive , edIT , Daedelus , Tehn , Fiction Company , 8 Bit Weapon , Nosaj Thing , BackTednTed, Addicted2Fiction , 11hzRobot , Treewave , EMIS , Mochipet , Machinedrum , with IComp , Droid Behavior , Electroinc Sub South , They Control Us , Quaketrap , and Daly City Records crews, and further a cast of many, many, many talent others. Flight Orchestra also has the distinct honor of being one of Los Angeles art collective Hangar 1018's "house bands".

Since The Military of Fatima's release during Fall of 2007 the record has received widespread critical acclaim. Among that acclaim Fatima was made editor’s choice on c/Net download.com for November 2007. Flight Orchestra was also included in URB Magazine's Next 1000.

David Wilson has been regarded by critics as everything from wild laptop genius to Radiohead's Thom Yorke. While flattered by these labels he would love for you to decide for yourself. Wilson as Flight Orchestra is currently working on a multi-versioned new record entitled HOW I REALIZED MYSELF , estimated arrival time Spring 2009.
