At first, Orchester was the solo-project of Clément Mirguet , who started composing music for films and theater, often using different musicians to record acoustic instruments. Violinist Anne-Laure Labaste was the first to join the group and graft in his musical universe. Later on, singer Faustine Berardo from the band Mushy would be invited on two tracks, leaving the band with a taste for more, in what would result on the release of a 9 track album with her.
