Caparezza Launches 'Orbit Orbit,' a Concept Album Paired With a 250-Page Comic

He says writing the graphic novel restored his outlook after tinnitus led to partial hearing loss.

Overview

  • The album and comic are released together as an interlinked narrative he scripted, spanning 14 tracks that frame a space-themed journey of personal recovery.
  • He discloses that he now uses hearing aids following tinnitus and partial hearing loss, and he recommends them to fellow musicians.
  • The rollout includes presentations at Lucca Comics & Games, in-store signings beginning November 2, and a live tour slated to start June 26, 2026 at Rock in Roma.
  • The music blends space electronics, drum’n’bass, dance and rap, features a rap‑prog track in 5/8 time, and culminates with a large orchestral and choral finale.
  • Samples include Rockets and Gianni Morandi, and he positions the project as an age-honest, imagination-led work that favors physical releases over algorithmic trends.
