LUDWIG, Santa Semeli and the Monks second album, is a philosophical concept album. The eponymous song which is based on Ludwig Van Beethoven, deals with the antithesis between hypocrisy and truth and sets the tone for the whole album.

The music (ranging from rock n’ roll to the avant-garde, spoken word and ballads) and lyrics are based on Semeli Economou’s poetry which convey stories in the most dramatic and beautiful way to take the listener onto a musical adventure.

Combining all her musical influences from her classical musical heritage to popular music, LUDWIG is on a quest to remind people that music is ONE.

Semeli’s pure musical and lyrical honesty ranges from a dramatic high priestess persona that takes on the role of a commentator, to tapping into her own vulnerability as an individual, joining all aspects of humanity with a sense of humour to bring hope and entertainment.

Ludwig is a rock opera designed to be performed on stage.
