Biography
(from www.ProgArchives.com)
ORCHESTRE CELESTI is the creative moniker of composer and keyboardist Federico Fantacone, which he use for his endeavours in the field of music. The project was born in 2006, and the idea was to blend the stylistic expressions of typical Italian prog artists with the English 70's variety, and to add innovation to this mixture by spicing it all up with contemporary electronic soundscapes. All compositions are instrumental, but sampled voices are used on occasion.

Fantacone have issued three albums under the Orchestre Celesti moniker so far: Compi La Tua Magia in 2007, Black and Red in 2009, Transition Of Power in 2011.

On a side note, the artist name - Celestial Orchestra - is a reference to an old Chinese art now alomost forgotten, in which doves were trained to follow specific flight patterns. Once the trajectories were all set, small flutes were attached to the legs of the birds, who then produced music according to the patterns they'd been trained to fly.

ORCHESTRE CELESTI "SOLO" IN THE FINAL BEST 10 SOLOS IN THE COMMPETITION LAUNCHED BY THE TANGENT BEFORE THE RELEASE OF THE LAST ALBUM "COMM" - MESSAGE OF THE TANGENT LEADER ANDY TILLISON TO FEDERICO FANTACONE - ORCHESTRE CELESTI

"I really did like your piano playing, reminded me of some of Keith Emerson's work when he was in the Nice - "Hang onto a dream" etc. It kills me to tell you - you didn't win, but all of us thought you were among the best entries... Congratulations on your excellent work, and I am sure that something good will come out of this. Once again to thank you very much for taking the time and having the enthusiasm to make this a great competition. Best wishes with Orchestre Celesti which I will be checking out just as soon as this CD is released..."

Coming soon: third OC album

Posted on March 5, 2011 at 7:58am 0 Comments

 

The new OC album is near to be completed and mixed. The title? TRANSITION OF POWER. It includes complex and instrumental tracks, a couple of "operas" subdivided into different movents, according to the first album approach, "Compi La Tua Magia".

As in the second album, the acclaimed Red & Black (nominated in the Prog Award 2009 in the ctg "Best Italian Record"), TRANSITION OF POWER will host only one intrusive, experimental song,  sung by a female…
