Duran Duran keyboardist Nick Rhodes has a new project in the works. He’s teamed with British artist and singer/violinist Wendy Bevan on a new collaborative project.
The project, which came together during lockdown, is described as “a creative collision of analogue synthesizers, violins, voices and orchestral arrangements fueled by their shared attraction to the Universe.” The pieces, presented as the “Astronomia” albums, will come out as four separate releases, featuring 13 tracks, all composed and performed by the pair.
“As we have all been living somewhat blinkered lives over the past year, Wendy and I found ourselves searching for a way forward, and were magnetically drawn towards the idea of creating something widescreen, to broaden our perspective in that moment,” Nick shares. “The universe became an infinite source of inspiration, taking us on a journey through this sadness to a future filled with awe and hope, exploring the endless beauty of the unknown.”
