Event Horizon

by Michael Thomas

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The music on Event Horizon represents the many ways technology impacts our lives on a daily basis. In modern society, it has become necessary to rely on devices such as computers and smartphones, but this dependence often becomes a distraction and creates more distance between people as human interactions are increasingly diminished. The compositions on this album are intended to not only highlight these issues, but to also re-humanize the music making process by creating space for each player’s individuality, and to capture the magic that happens when these voices interact in a live setting. With these ideas in mind, it is my hope that I can inspire people to reconnect with one another and the world around them, and by doing so, that modern society can escape the event horizon we are faced with because of our technological dependence.
