The foundations of the songs on Orton's stunning 2022 album, 'Weather Alive', are nothing more than her voice and a 'cheap, crappy' upright piano installed in a shed in her garden, conjuring a deeply meditative atmosphere that remains long after the final note has evaporated. 'I am known as a collaborator and I'm very good at it. I'm very open to it. Sometimes, I've been obscured by it', says Orton, who rose to prominence through '90s-era collaborations with William Orbit, Red Snapper and The Chemical Brothers before striking out on her own with a series of acclaimed, award-winning solo releases. 'I think what's happened with this record is that through being cornered by life, I got to reveal myself to myself and to collaborate with myself, actually'.
