THE POST ROMANTIC EMPIRE ALBUM is a concept album in which each and every song revolves around a single theme, sketching a story.
The story of an idea told by voices far apart: four composers (ROGER O’DONNELL of The Cure, BABY DEE, MATT HOWDEN aka Sieben, and MAJA ELLIOTT of Current 93) have been invited to re/write songs selected as potential archetypes of contemporary music. Each of them invited other musicians, and all the materials produced for each track has been harmonized and tuned, each by a producer (ROGER O’DONNELL, ANDREW W K, ANDREW LILES and MATTEO SPINAZZE’).
Making THE POST ROMANTIC EMPIRE ALBUM became a meeting point, a shared liminal space, for 26 artists (and a children’s choir) spread all over the world, each with it’s own, different, specific rhythm and working method. Coordinating each activity with a starting common vision.
