PETALUMA, Calif. - ColoradoDesk -- It's 2085 and the world has been taken over by an extraterrestrial super intelligence that's using Earth's own artificial intelligence creations to control and kill people around the globe. Only 138 million world citizens remain; food and shelter are the only currency.  That's the premise Music Composer TLP, a.k.a. Wakasutome, uses to create "Terms of War," an Electronic Dance Music (EDM) project with a wholly different and scary twist.

"This music is meant to make people think, without being preachy; it's not just dance music; it's a mix of computerized and live music; it's not the usual turning of knobs," he says. "The theme is dark, dystopian; and may predict our future."

The project consists of 10 tracks, with the first one, "The Stakes (Insane Reality)," being released this week.  It begins the saga of E'MPOK NORAD, a war hero who, with his crew, The New Generation, is leading the rebellion against the enemy.  They believe the unknown force lives on another planet, Mercury, and they are on a quest to find and destroy it.

"The music is aggressive, it's in the drum-base genre of EDM music and has 175 beats per minute rather than the usual 120 beats that house music has," he says.  "The message this project is meant to convey is sobering, it says, in essence, humanity around our world must unite or die together."

The tracks include snippets of the voices, wisdom and warnings of world leaders and others.  Live keyboard music played by TLP is prominent as are computer generated notes, voices and sounds.  Future tracks will include live music played on the viola and violin.
