"AOE starts at the point the kid Jef got touched by melancholic music... Never will he forget the overwhelming feeling of being impressed by 'Walking In The Air' (music from the animation movie 'The Snowman'). That’s why he started collecting his own melancholic guitar-riffs on tape, short after he got his first guitar. After his studies, he recovered them to reshape them into an album. The name 'Art Of Empathy' fitted perfectly with the music he had in mind: unassuming, melancholic music in which people can dream away in different worlds, in different thoughts, ... The debut ‘Evening Sessions’ got plenty of great reactions from all over the world. Some years (and a soundtrack for the film ‘Vigor Mortis’) later, AOE returns with the new album ‘Posthuman Decadence’. Like in the past, the project stands for spherical songs. This time it is with a dark, apocalyptic touch."
