Hidden Orchestra is an "imagined orchestra" crafted by composer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Joe Acheson. The recordings include a diverse range of guest musicians from various musical backgrounds, recorded separately and then combined by Acheson in his studio to create the illusion of an orchestra.

Originally formed in Edinburgh in 2009 and now based in Brighton, Acheson also acts as musical director and organizes musicians for live performances. Regular concert members include Poppy Ackroyd (violin/piano), and drummers Tim Lane and Jamie Graham (drums/trombone).
