A SPECTACULAR NIGHT WITH ELECTRONIC MUSIC PIONEERS THE ORB WITH SUPPORT FROM VIOLETA VICCI

English electronic music group The Orb were founded in 1988 by Alex Paterson and Jimmy Cauty. Known for their psychedelic sound, The Orb developed a cult following among clubbers. Their influential 1991 debut album The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld pioneered the UK's nascent ambient house movement, while its UK chart-topping follow-up U.F.Orb represented the group's commercial peak.

Now they're back on tour to celebrate the release of their latest studio album SETI, the latest collaboration between Alex Paterson and Andy Falconer of The Orb. The latest record takes listeners on an enchanting nighttime voyage through the cosmos. It's an "ambient unplugged" experience filled with acoustic instruments and nostalgic samples, bridging the realms of old-world charm and uncharted territories. The album presents a harmonious blend of glacial-paced melodies, Nyabinghi percussion, mandolin, and acoustic guitar, offering a unique fusion of elements. SETI, which stands for Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence, not only explores the universe but also provides a comfortable, chill-out space within its musical ambience. This record is a testament to the creative synergy between Paterson and Falconer, who effortlessly navigate uncharted musical territory, building on decades of trust and shared curiosity.

WITH SUPPORTING ARTIST VIOLETA VICCI

A multifaceted, contemporary violinist, vocalist and composer, Violeta Vicci feels comfortable genre-crossing from classical to ambient, multilayered electronics, her influences ranging from Bach to Brian Eno. Since starting the violin at the age of four and giving her concert debut at the age of fifteen, she fulfilled her long life dream to study at the Royal Academy of Music.

Violeta has recently supported the Orb on their 30th anniversary UK tour and collaborated with the likes of The Smile, Thom Yorke, Elbow, Sigur Ros, Steeleye Span and Bat For Lashes. She also arranges the strings for Fontaines DC and writes and performs with psychedelic rock band Ttrruuces.

During lockdown, Vicci started “Live Music in Nature” a series of live-streamed concerts performed in beautiful natural locations around the UK, combining strings, voice and effect pedals to create a soundtrack to nature. She has been nominated for a Royal Philharmonic Society Award and her most recent album ‘Cavaglia’ is an homage to a Swiss alpine valley and highlights the fragility of the environment and the beauty and the devastation created by climate change.
