In the artist's words:

Orbit is the dream pop project of producer and songwriter Marcel Heym. With a soundscape characterized by a mixture of raw acoustic sounds and atmospheric synths, Orbit combines images of life in the countryside with the longing for a higher goal. At the age of seventeen, Marcel Heym gained international stage experience with his first rock band, which he founded together with his brother Patrick. As teenagers, they played shows in Shanghai, Los Angeles, London and at major festivals in Germany. After becoming a music producer in his early twenties and moving to Berlin, Marcel realized that he couldn't find happiness in the noise of the urban jungle. He fled back to his hometown and started his first own music project.

Instead of being a shiny new product of the music industry, Orbit developed more and more into a multidimensional place for creativity and formed a real community inside and outside the internet. Without the help of major labels, Marcel and his friends have created a collective that realizes various projects, including artworks, videos and handmade merchandise. In spring 2021, along the last release "Summer Someday", Orbit called on his fans to co-organize concerts in their hometowns. A few months later, Marcel and his friends played over 20 shows at private festivals, wild woods and backyards across the country. The tour soon became an expedition into the depths of German independent culture and a movement of genuine human connection.
