Description
A book that comes with its own music. A concept album that tells a complex story: Based on Angelika Saia’s science fiction novel *Thalassa 2098*, Andreas Grob’s progressive rock concept album transports listeners to the cyberpunk-inspired Zurich of the year 2098. The works of this artist couple from Uster inspire one another: Andreas Grob has transformed the novel into a multi-layered music album—epic, playful, and often unexpected. Inspired by this, Angelika Saia in turn wrote the accompanying lyrics. Thus, literature and music reflect each other as if in a mirror and merge into a dense, cinematic atmosphere. Live at the U-Boot Bar: • Reading: Angelika Saia reads excerpts from her new science fiction novel “Thalassa 2098.”• Concert: Andreas Grob performs the album’s songs live as a solo artist—virtuosically accompanied by electric guitar, loops, and effects.
• Opening act: Peter Haas – SYMPHONY IN RHYTHM Links:
