Always in search of new perspectives - Rhabdomantic Orchestra transform narratives and cinematic arrangements on their new release.
February 20, 2024
Born in 2014, Rhabdomantic Orchestra is an open collective of musicians based in Turin led by composer and multi-instrumentalist Manuel Volpe. Their unique blend of different musical languages as afrobeat, spiritual jazz, salsa, mediterranean flavors and psychedelic drifts, is the result of deep studies and prolific international collaborations with artists as Haitch (Nigeria), Misrak Mosissa (Etiopia), Maria Mallol Moya (Colombia), Renegades of Jazz (Germany), Juan Carlos Calderin and Roy Aron (Cuba), Gianluca Petrella, Clap! Clap!
Written and produced by Manuel Volpe, "La Grandiosa" sees the work of an extended version of the Turin based collective Rhabdomantic Orchestra, the featuring of Gianluca Petrella (ECM, Blue Note, Ninja Tune) at trombone and the Dub Version by Clap! Clap! (Warp).
Manuel Volpe about the song: "I wrote this tune following a heist movie storyline of my own creation called “La Grandiosa”. I've tried to explore the narrative potential of the arrangements and sound organization until I could vividly see the entire movie. For us, it isn't just a soundtrack for an imaginary film; “La Grandiosa” is the movie itself, captured through notes, rhythm, pauses, tension, and release."

We represent this song in Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
