Cast and Crew Party | The Next Humanity

What style of music does The Next Humanity create?

AMERICAN!

While the music is orchestral, with some pop, country and jazz influence (making it outside the contemporary big pop idiom pigeon holes), the music and soundscape is honestly masterful in performances and sound quality. It reflects the best of American music. Some of it injects cutting edge electronica and traditional small intimate ensembles.

Composed, arranged and recorded from Kansas City to Nashville, to Sweden, to London, to Prague, to LA, the production is world-class.

Collaborative Experience by Design

The Next Humanity is a deliberate name for this sonic theater troop, as the world faces an era of determining what it means to be human in the face of artificial intelligence, bio-science advances and trans-human philosophies or ethics.

A culture that values automation over human

talent & inspiration is not culture at all

David Davidson, 1st Violin & Concertmaster

Human kindness, interaction, sympathetic vibrating together to love and have peace beyond understanding is the meaning of life.

Don’t be content to scroll to the next hit of dopamine. Love family & friends to celebrate victories, help them back on their feet when they feel a victim and keep the villains at bay. Especially the ones within us. Seek the human spirit over cold material substitutes.

Organic legacy humanity must prove more reliable, resilient and responsive to our emotional & spiritual needs than any breed of artificial or augmented cyborg living or virtual replacement realities.

Christ showed a new creation we can be, to live in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. In that, as His, we can live F( )REVER. Do you have to believe in G!D like that to take the journey into taking in the musical and more? No, but you may find it helps.

The “collaborative” is a group-dynamic principle, put forth in formal discipline by Joe Pine, a foremost thought-leader in experience design and transformational experiences, established in his best selling book, “The Experience Economy”. Mr. Pine, author and Christian apologist, has been an advising inspiration to the NH collaborative. Aaron Renn and Dave Rodriguez were also guiding lights. Many more resources and guests will be discovered in TNH Collaborative Content Camp.
