Violeta Vicci

The multi-faceted, contemporary British-Swiss violinist, singer and composer Violeta Vicci effortlessly manages the genre shift from classical to ambient music and multi-layered electronics - with influences ranging from Bach to Brian Eno. She collaborated with artists such as Thom Yorke, Elbow or Jonsi (Sigur Ros), arranges the strings for the post-punk shooting stars Fontaines DC and has recently supported the Orb on their 30th anniversary UK tour. Violeta Vicci's breathtakingly beautiful new album "Cavaglia" was released on 14 April on Fabrique. "It should be listened as a whole rather than in parts and pieces, as it carries a message that cannot be transcribed into sentences and words. It speaks a universal language, a call to action to find our own Cavaglia." (a closer listen)
