PROFILE
Berlin/Copenhagen-based Substereo is a multimedia art-rock project that weaves immersive journeys through film, art, storybooks, and music. Blurring the line between reality and fiction, they craft complete stories, whether it's pirates seeking a mysterious treasure or a lonely robot saving its dying world.
Originally a Copenhagen-based art-rock band, Substereo's debut album, "Fuel for the Revolution" (2013), produced by Dito Godwin, marked their transition into a multimedia art project. The evolution continued with "Nowhereland," a concept album accompanied by a hand-illustrated storybook. They introduced 'storybook-concerts,' reading abridged chapters aloud with live performances featuring visual cues like smoke, light, and sound.
In 2018, after relocating to Berlin and drawing inspiration from musical influences like Pink Floyd and David Bowie, Substereo embarked on their third project, "Renaissance." This endeavor expanded the narrative through mediums like stop-motion/animation musical short-films, hand-built puppets, and thousands of watercolor paintings. The corresponding videos were released over two years, complementing the 2019 music release.
After 30 months of intensive work (4000 work-hours), Substereo completed a 26-minute music short film in 2022, narrating the adventure of "Ben The Robot." Accompanied by a book in the form of Ben's diary, this project introduces NFTs to expand its reach into the cryptocurrency world.
In 2023, Substereo unveiled "Perpetua," their fourth studio album, which transcends music into a comic book and motion comic film. Connecting with previous narratives, "Perpetua" explores cosmic journeys, space depths, untangled destinies, and promised adventures. Substereo continues to blend music, narrative, and visual arts, inviting listeners on captivating adventures at the intersection of creativity.
So, buckle up for an exhilarating adventure with Substereo's unique fusion of music, storytelling, and visual arts.
