ORCHESTRE CELESTI is the creative moniker of composer and keyboardist Federico Fantacone, which he uses 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 8 albums under the Orchestre Celesti moniker so far: Compi La Tua Magia in 2007, Black and Red in 2009, Transition of Power in 2011 and QUATTRO in 2012-2013, The Court Of Miracles vol. 1 & 2, The Big Carrot (and misuse of it...) - EP, ContraXt, + some compilation or remaking-remastering.

On a side note, the artist name - "Celestial Orchestra" - is a reference to an old Chinese art now almost 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.
