about
RanestRane is an Italian rock prog band from Rome that was formed in 1998. The band writes progressive style music and concept albums inspired by art films such as "Nosferatu the Vampyre" by W. Herzog, "The Shining" and "2001: A Space Odyssey" by Stanley Kubrick. The first and the second part of A Space Odyssey’s trilogy features guest appearances from Steve Rothery and Steve Hogarth, guitarist and frontman of Marillion respectively. The band composes and performs original lyrics and music, blending them with short excerpts from a movie, projected in the background. The original score is almost entirely replaced by the new soundtrack. Concept albums so conceived turn into real Rock Operas. The vocal parts featuring original lyrics are intertwined with fragments of the film dialogues, thereby enriching the script and serving as narrative backdrop to explore new viewpoints. RanestRane thus create a new approach to the way spectators experience the film screening. In 2007, RanestRane released their debut album, "Nosferatu", inspired by the cult movie "Nosferatu the Vampyre" by W. Herzog. In 2011, the band brought out its second album, based on "The Shining" by Stanley Kubrick, characterized by psychedelic atmospherics while alterning vocal and instrumental parts, as typical of RanestRane’s work. In November 2013, "A Space Odyssey – part one – Monolith" was released. The album features guest appearances from Steve Rothery and Steve Hogarth, guitarist and frontman of Marillion
