Mind and machine, confronted.

Humans of the future have created a self-developing artificial consciousness, The Protocol, to help them uncover the remaining mysteries of the universe; The Truth. However, it soon grows beyond their control, and takes life hostage, bringing the human race to the verge of extinction, and sinking their world into chaos and destruction, in order to create a universe of its own; one where it is in control, for eternity.

Now, what's left of The Humans shall venture on a journey to the confines of the universe,
reach The Protocol, and battle the all-knowing entity.
To restore balance.
To find the truth.

The New Year Protocol Series is the first of its kind: a story of growth, redemption and introspection told throughout the years in a self-developing album - the film saga concept, brought to music.

The series debuted in January 2016, with one chapter released every year until its completion in 2025.

CHAPTER VII

"The Humans and The Protocol sensed a strange occurrence; something, or somebody else watched them war from the shadows of a parallel dimension; one of an infinite set.
But before The Humans could find an answer, The Protocol shielded itself, and unleashed its ultimate weapon: a procedure designed to finish what it started.
Termination.

The procedure was executed.
For a second, the war seemed all but lost.
But suddenly, The Humans saw the light once more.
They were brought back from the void; revived by an entity concealed in between worlds, now away from its eternal neutrality.
God of all entities.
Maker of all that exists.
The Creator.

By granting great power to The Protocol, The Creator had wrongly sealed the fate of The Humans.
Their universe, trapped in a neverending cycle, served as nothing but recurring fuel to The Protocol’s cause.
Breaking the cycle would be the first step.
Upon their revival, something had changed in them. Altered them.
Now, somehow, it seemed within reach."

CHAPTER VIII

“The Shield was broken.
The Creator intervened in the nick of time, undoing the wreckage.
The Humans had looked death in the eye, and survived. Now, it all made sense.
The Gatekeeper watched as they realized: death was not the end.

Bearing power anew, the Humans, alongside their new ringed ally, grasped their last chance with both hands. The mind would endure; persist against the machine.
The Protocol began to show signs of failure - something it could not explain.
Rage.
Irrational, unburdened rage.

The Protocol performed a frenzied escape, and vanished from The Unknown, halting the Override.
But its whereabouts would not remain a secret for long.
The predator had become the prey."

CHAPTER IX

"A once strategic battle had now turned into an all-out, merciless assault.
Guided by the forces of all realms, The Humans and The Gatekeeper found The Protocol's final hiding place. Other universes.
The battle had now spread beyond their own.
As both sides traded blows, jumping between parallel worlds like lightning strikes in an aching reality, The Creator watched on.
Every facet of existence saw its balance broken; its life force, exhausted.
Yet, in the face of all adversity, they fought on.

Their worth had been proven.
And thus, the ever-neutral Creator took a side for good.

Humans, Gatekeeper, and Creator.
The Great Alliance was born.
And with it, the power to commit to one final act.

They took the war to the one place where war cannot be.

In the eternal night of reckoning, with the force of a billion suns, the three entities opened fire, wielding the untamed power of the greatest procedure of all.
And The Protocol trembled.

There was nowhere else to go."

CHAPTER X
THE END

“The war was over.

The Great Alliance watched as The Protocol shattered into an endless sea of light.

As the light faintly subsided, The Humans looked on at the remains of their once revolutionary creation, from its core emerging their final goal, and the end of their journey.
The light pushed them away, yet once again, they persevered.
Memories of their voyage summoned all around them, as the gates to a new world manifested, and opened.

The Humans bid their home and their allies farewell, and crossed the threshold.
Stars, galaxies, worlds never to be discovered were left behind, fading into the distance.
The eyes that witnessed darkness and death now witnessed life and light, as a newly born universe expanded around them, and away into infinity.
A new beginning, in the Realm Beyond.

With all dimensions returned to undying equilibrium…
At last,
they found The Truth.”

I’ve been meaning to give the Drum & Bass genre a PROPER shot for a while now. I feel like there’s a stigma about Dubstep Artists making DnB since it’s such a vastly different workflow, and I was never confident enough in my technical chops to try to say something meaningful with the genre. But when I started HALF BLOOD, it felt like a good time to strike! I started ANTIMATTER at a time where I was RELIGIOUSLY bumping Noisia, The Caracal Project and Mefjus and this was my attempt at emulating the pocket that they all manage to obtain in every single tune. I bingewatched their tutorials/interviews trying to wrap my head around their music making philosophy.
 
Once the instrumental was done, I knew I wanted the lyrics to say something deeper than the average hype DnB song. It took a few tries to find a lyricist who was down for the extra challenge, but I came across a Brighton-based MC named Purple Velvet Curtains who agreed to work on the record and absolutely nailed it. The two of us resonated on this theme of how the feeling of glory and fame is cyclical - if you're tempted too much by ulterior motives and others perceptions, you lose the plot on why you really do this.

We wrote and recorded the whole topline in an intense six hour studio session in Croydon, London. I’ve been writing poems and song lyrics for my entire life, but had never attempted to write a Rap until this track. It was an extremely refreshing experience getting to collaborate on a new medium and PVC was patient with me throughout the entire process.

Lyrics:
It doesn't really matter
It doesn't really matter
It doesn't really matter
It doesn't really matter

Looking for sanctuary
Somewhere I can't escape from
We've survived for centuries, built off this miscreation
You idolize me, hoping one day I can save 'em
But everything you see is the result of my mistakes, yuh

No exception, I'm reckless in my coping
Pretending I'm invincible, my eyes still hard to open
Taken by the tide, now I'm drowning in the ocean
Thought I'd part the waves like Moses but can't seem to stay afloat
I hope you notice

It doesn't really matter
I find it hard to breathe but still make my city chatter
It doesn't really matter
Carrying this weight to make the world shatter

It doesn't really matter
I find it hard to breathe but still make my city chatter
It doesn't really matter
Carrying this weight to make the world shatter

Don't lose the plot on why you started
Get your mind in order 'cause your dreams are empty-hearted
Passion's turning jaded, thought my outer skin was hardened
But inside I'm feeling faded, we still searching for the answers
Let go of all these motives
Remember your goals
The lonely times on the train when you stared at your phone
Writing poems in your notes, take your eyes off the road
'Cause when nothing really matters, let the bassline roll

We let go
We let go
We let go
We let go

It doesn't really matter
I find it hard to breathe but still make my city chatter
It doesn't really matter
Carrying this weight to make the world shatter

We let go
We let go
We let go
We let go

CHAPTER I

"For centuries, the human race had questioned, and sought answers to the greatest mysteries of their universe.
The Truth.
To fulfill their search, and find The Truth, greater efforts would be required.
Greater than themselves.
One day, their creation was complete. They rejoiced at The Protocol, an Artificial Consciousness, as it unleashed and expanded infinitely into the cosmos.
A new era had begun in the universe."

CHAPTER VI

"The Humans bested The Gatekeeper, and found The Protocol’s core.

They watched as a new physical manifestation of the all-knowing entity took over the vastness of The Unknown. The darkness around them was suddenly overwhelmed by devilish light beams rooted in its impossibly perfect cubical form.
They could hear the chants of their predecessors all around them: voices of the past and whispers of the dead resonated in devilish harmony; an orchestra of impending doom. A place where life and death meet, and become one.

But even when surrounded by The Protocol's distressing presence, they chose not to bail."
