about

This track is the almost 80 min. version of the entire program in one file.

This is a psychedelically mashed up mix of material about control, love, power, technological hubris, and the effects and consequences of 'The New Economy' as envisioned by the followers of Ayn Rand.

Will mankind forever be a puppet to those in power? Can it overcome the force of it's own selfish desires? Will mankind ever be free, and if not, who pulls the strings?

The audio program represented by this page is a work of artistic expression, meant to be heard, and taken, in its entirety. This audio program seeks to capture, and communicate, our subjective impressions of the cultural conversation about its universal subject matter.

All excerpted material in this program is fragmentary, remixed, re-contextualized, and used fairly for the purpose of artistic and cultural commentary as expressed through the program's subjective, unique, and synthesized arrangement.

This program is not for profit. All proceeds sent to the creator are considered donations to be put back toward the expenses of the NCN project only.
