Battles' Tyondai Braxton Brings Real Orchestra to New Album -- Exclusive Video

'Central Market,' Tyondai Braxton's latest solo effort, brings the material for which he's become known for creating to a new level. While the Battles frontman normally simulates more than one musician through looping, he's decided to actually bring that synthesized sound to life with a real orchestra on his new album. Braxton got his wish by hooking up with Caleb Burhans, co-founder of the Wordless Music Orchestra.

In an exclusive video featuring the two musicians that was filmed at the Warp Records office in New York, Braxton explains his composition decision and how "it was all happenstance," while Burhans talks about what brought them together. Watch the clip after the jump.
