About ACOUSTIC ORCHESTRA

[freedreamer]

Hi,

May I ask if there is any difference between ACOUSTIC ORCHESTR and ORCHESTRA itself? I notice some Ayu remixes use these terms.

i searched for ACOUSTIC ORCHESTRA on google and a large majority of links were about Ayu. It was quite surprising LOl.

Anyone can explain?

I understand that if its purely Acoustic, it means guitars right? Any strings involved?

Acoustic orchestra means that there aren't any electrical instruments. Acoustic isn't just guitar, but there's no electrical guitar. There days even violins and stuff have electrical things, so acoustic just means it's the instrument. So, just an orchestra could have some electrical instruments.

I hope that explains it. My musical vocabulary is very limited.

The albums are simply called "acoustic orchestra" albums. The tracklist doesn't list the songs as being called "acoustic orchestra version" most of the time, so that distinction is just made when people are tagging the mp3s and doing discographies - it's just a note on the track name so we know it's the version that appeared on the "acoustic orchestra" album. When AO tracks are reused on singles (for example, TO BE on the Seasons single) or when they're used in non-stop megamixes, they're called "acoustic orchestra version" there for the same reason. But the albums themselves use a mixture of acoustic, orchestra, and acoustic-orchestra versions.

Acoustic and/or orchestra versions that ONLY appear on singles, however (like recent orchestra versions that have appeared) will be named according to what style they're really in, for example "No way to say 'Acoustic version'" or "GREEN 'Orchestra version'".
