ATUM (A Rock Opera In Three Acts)

Billy Corgan designed this project as a sprawling rock opera. The work progresses through three parts, utilizing a dense science fiction plot to connect the events of earlier albums like Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness as well as Machina.

Electronic instruments and dense string arrangements define the production. The result is a modern take on the group's established style. By combining a clean, wide aesthetic with their usual focus on experimental song structures, the band updates their approach while keeping familiar melodic habits intact.
