OMGjazzer #19 Storyline: Sometime in the distant future, we find ourselves…here. The galaxy has become a very different place than it was just a few decades ago. Technology has advanced to the point where people are constantly connected to their devices. They are glued to their phones, tablets, and computers, always looking for the next dopamine hit.

In this brave new world, a new breed of people has emerged: the TV Box Jazzers. To any outsider these people are simply consumed by their devices. They have lost their sense of self. They are no longer able to interact with the real world in a meaningful way. They simply live out their lives through a black mirror.

However, these people were created by design. The TV Box Jazzers were the product of a dark experiment. The Dark Divine has been secretly abducting people and turning them into surveillance drones. These drones are then used to monitor the population and collect data. The Dark Divine's plan to use the TV Box Jazzers to create a dystopian galaxy where everyone is under constant surveillance had been well underway for decades, ever since the second fall of Envy.

To the Dark Divine, this is the only way to maintain order in the galaxy.

But there are those who are fighting back against the Dark Divine. A group of heroes has formed to oppose the god and to free the TV Box Jazzers. The heroes believe that everyone has the right to live their own life, free from the control of technology. The battle between the Dark Divine and the heroes has begun again! Only time will tell who will win and what the future holds for the TV Box Jazzers.

About the music: “Prelude to Descent - Part 1” is a jazz/electronica (“jazztronica”) track by FKAjazz that is a part of a series of dystopian songs by the saxophonist/music producer. With its dark undertones, heavy rock effects on the saxophone and hardcore beat, “Prelude to Descent - Part 1” is a powerful and immersive experience. The track’s atmospheric sounds mixed with tension and anticipation from the constant & repetitive rhythmic elements paint a picture that is both menacing and beautiful. “Prelude to Descent - Part 1” is musically complex, offering a unique and thought-provoking listening experience.
