Listen2Daze is the true story of Curt
who has been plagued by Controllers through brain implants injected into his head in March 1999.
Actual voicemail messages and field recordings gathered between 1982-2018 are woven into the music
as he warns us of the impending dangers of the coming 'Technocracy'
and as-yet unimaginable 'Torment Technology' by inter-dimensional Beings/Controllers
as they selfishly drain energies from the 3rd dimension.
Cutting-edge music production and adventurous musicianship contour and explore Curt's proclamations and emotionally engage the Listener.
A unique musical journey involving coincidence, unspoken psychic connections, friendship within the darkest of hours, and the resilience of the Human Spirit, no matter how hopeless circumstances may seem.
Each of the 39 CD Chapters have their unique place in the unfolding of events, just as their slipcase has its place in the puzzle.
Human beings performing real instruments in real-time, vocals and voices, this is foremost a MUSICAL experience that will invigorate and hypnotize, the depth of the weaving narratives gaining clarity and coherence as the chapters coalesce and the story events wind up into an inevitable Revelation that requires the Listener's participation...
The CD slipcases fit together into a full puzzle:
4 slipcases tall and 10 wide (see photos) with dozens of visual pairings to discover!
The actual CDs then fit/sit ON TOP of the cover puzzle, which changes the image and 'opens the portal'... providing additional clues to solve the story.
Play the Memory/Concentration Game with the back covers, finding 20 matching pairs of images.
---Only 100 individually signed and numbered Box Sets in existence---
