Bodhi's wish is Michael Pickard, a multi instrumentalist working in the ER at night writing music during the day. Combining experimental alt-rock, soul, pop and folk, Michael Pickard strives to create the music he loves in whatever form it takes. Hauntingly soulful and sonically atmospheric, he explores what it means to be human through melody and song. " My goal has always been to express the purest parts of what I am feeling. To tap into something that feels real. If there is something 'sad', 'dark' or 'uplifting' being  channeled, I try to allow it to come through as naturally as possible, and hopefully that makes for a good song. Ultimately, I am simply trying to make good music that I enjoy."

//Over a millennium ago,
The world’s elites and powers united
To combat humanity’s most existential threat.

//Themselves.

//For centuries prior, society had been in and out of war against itself.

//Food was scarce, medicine was a luxury, and clean water was worth its weight in gold.

//Global warming only perpetuated this.

//Refugees sought resources, others fought for them.

//Until the 61st century began.

//A city had arisen, controlled by the richest and most powerful leaders of government.
A city which was open to all humans, but not by choice.

//You were given two options, move to the city and reintegrate into a healing society,
Or fend for yourself and ultimately perish.

//The city was vast, no expense had been spared, this was the culmination of human invention and technology.

//If you lived here however, you were nothing more than a number.
You were to work half of every day, or be labeled a parasite and executed.

//The city’s name, “The Supersocial Nexus to Revive Society”.
Unorthodox, but its citizens just called it “SNRS”.

//Eventually, cities became ghost towns, fertile land became desert, and earth reclaimed what it had lost.

//And time marched forward…
