Waking Up is a five part story set in Brooklyn NY in 2035. This is the fourth episode, titled "Strange Loop." It's Thursday evening, and you've felt much better since resetting the Neuromax chip. You're on your way to see your friends at their favorite tiki bar in Brighton Beach. Performed by Jenise Morgan, Talia Hamilton, Maya Murakami Tuttle, KC Comeaux, Chris Clark, Nathan Patrick Wallace, and Ghan Patel. Featuring music co-authored by Nathan Ward, Nick Jones, Reese Bowes, Daniel Lynas, Derek Muro, Darren Solomon, David Russell, Emily Jeanne Brown, and Ghan Patel.

Story:
Waking Up is about a synthetic consciousness born trapped inside a human. It is an exploration of the science and spirituality of consciousness, as well as the fallibility of our subjective perception. 

Music: 
In some Vedic and Buddhist writing, consciousness is described as a vibration. The music seeks to explore the effects of two waves vibrating together.
