Tom Middleton is focused on the future in many ways. His new alias GCOM is an all-new, 21st century redesign of his original Global Communication concept and collaboration with Mark Pritchard, signifying a technological, creative and philosophical evolution into the new era; from planetary communication and understanding to Galactic Communication. The new album E2-XO is some of the most advanced music he has ever made, both in sound and concept. A decade in the making, inspired by themes surrounding anthropocene humankind’s impact on climate, what we’re doing about it, conscious AI, and the acceleration for interplanetary travel beyond the Moon, to Mars, and eventually intergalactic in search of potentially habitable exoplanets... The hunt for Earth 2.0.
