AIRS - A ROCK OPERA

"Airs: A Rock Opera" is a collaborative effort planned and composed by German composer and instrumentalist Steve BROCKMANN and US lyricist George ANDRADE. Utilizing their networks they enlisted the aid of musical friends worldwide to record the album, a true to life internet enabled collaboration. The final result was self-released at the start of 2012.

"Airs: A Rock Opera" is an old fashioned rock opera exploring a story involving real people in a real environment, where much care has been used to find different voices for each character in the play. Mostly emphasizing a theatrical, melodramatic delivery focusing on emotion over harmonies, and set to a musical backdrop that to some extent is comparable with the old US metal act Savatage as far as general approach is concerned. I would estimate that followers of that band to be something of a key audience for this ambitious production.
