In development for over eleven years, X: The Human Condition has been designed to embrace the expanding possibilities of multimedia in entertainment. Featuring an immersive, multi-sensory environment, the live, dynamic concert performance by the music group X: THC, enhanced by the emotionally charged film, X: The Human Condition, previews its uplifting and stimulating shock to the senses for Thanksgiving at the Brooklyn multimedia space, Monkeytown (58 North 3rd St., Brooklyn, NY), on Wednesday, November 25th at 10:00 pm. $5 cover,$10 minimum. Full late night dinner menu available.
The inspiring music of X: THC combines the multi-layered hypnotica of smoothly grooving electronic beats, warm emotive alternative indie rock, coldly induced new wave post-modernism, lush, heartfelt, romantic blue-eyed soul & classic songwriting, with an otherworldly experimental soundscape. X: THC breaks down the walls between musical genres, challenging categorization, while communicating performance through multiple sensory applications, known as "synesthesia".
The live music and film multimedia experience examines the human condition, pulling you in to an alternate reality...UnratedNYC Magazine wrote, "X: The Human Condition is an emotionally cataclysmic event that will resonate in your subconscious for weeks…" .
Hypnotically delicious, it is a trance-inducing trip inside the human subconscious, combining hypnotic, surreal soundscapes with phantasmagorical, emotionally charged visual storytelling to create a unique and inspiring music and film multimedia experience.
X: The Human Condition alchemically fuses together influences of luminaries such as Tim Burton, Michael Gondry, Antoine St. Exupery, Darren Aronofsky, Guillermo Del Toro, Jean Cocteau, Rod Serling, The Brothers Grimm, and Joseph (John) Merrick, to create an imaginative, terrible beauty, both real and unreal, where the mind can make a hell of heaven, and a heaven of hell... X: The Human Condition.
Norman Nomates looking for friends so how about it. Are you on myspace, if so why not come over and see me and we can be friends... hmmmm
... and I blow my own trumpet' Come on you have to in this business! - Tom Robinson (BBC Radio 6) listened to a selection of tracks on MySpace and said,
'My first impression on listening at MySpace was that this is a strong collection of songs, well written and delivered. The vocal styling is distinctive and appealing - you connect emotionally with the listener.'
And went on to say:
'Your stuff is really good, so use your belief in it to get up and go under your own steam.'
the 14 track album 'Joe - A London Tale' which is raw and real but still pretty unique.. me thinks, but I will let you judge. Take the time if you have it to listen to the whole album, it's worth it.
Let me know what you think people looking for publishers/A+R/Producers to comment and anyone else for that matter.
Best, Kirby.

Rufus Cappadocia is one of the leading voices on the cello today. From the modalities of Middle Eastern, West African and pan-European folk forms to blues, rock and jazz along the way, adding elements American roots, Mediterranean textures, and Caribbean percussion for good measure, Cappadocia's effortless and natural embrace of all music is awe-inspiring.

the world was on its feet
The April flowers billowed
up and down the street
The sun was in the alley,
the windows open wide
The avenue was burning,
despite the rising tide
The cool eyes I would never forget...
There was
Something in the way he moves
Something in the way he lives
Something in the way he gives
Something
In the way.
He set a foot in my house, put a finger to his chin
There was nothing there that worked and not much else worth mentioning
But he took it all with great care, with patience and with love,
Suspecting not one single time what I had built it of
When the earthquake began that would tear us apart...
There was
Something in the way
Something in the way
Something in the way
Something
In the way.
Now it's almost wintertime, the windows filled with frost
And I'll be running to retrieve something that I've lost
I can't knock on his door yet, but I will in due time
For this is truly his home, just as well as mine
And it spangles my banners and stars my stripes...
There is
Something in the way he loves
Something in the way he lives
Something in the way he gives
Something
In the way.
