about
In a future where robots have completely replaced humanity, a cybernetics lab strives to recreate mankind. The only vital component that the machines think they cannot create is emotion.
Robots in this future work completely logically. No emotion, no drive, no interest; just programming to lead the way. A scientist named B-0T finally creates a robot that has emotions, but the creation wants the freedom to explore the world on its own. In response: The scientists put a feature into the newly dubbed “MAN” to stop it from leaving the facility and showing itself to the populace prematurely: A heart.
Now mortal: The MAN still looks to escape captivity and be something more than just a lab rat.
Our story begins at his birth.

about
Gab.riel Harrison, New York
Springing from the realm of Video Production and New Media; Gab.Riel is an experiment created by Noah Kantor to explore how
visual art can translate into synthesized musical forms. Each concept album in the series is written as a short story, whose scenes are translated into emotionally resonant electronica tracks.
To put it simply: Sit back, take a listen, and see a new world with your ears.
