Unplugged

It's been over three centuries since the first mechanical limb was successfully attached and controlled by brain impulses alone.  It started with humans being able to control the integrated computer system…but one day that all changed.  The computers took over the brain and stripped each person of everything that made us human.  Today, all of the world's population has been transformed into a computerized human life form.  Where does the mechanics end…and where does the human begin? Now, the computerization of the entire world's population is nearly complete, except me. 

I am the only one left unplugged!

"Unplugged" was performed by The Notre Dame Indoor Percussion Ensemble for their 2012 WGI season.  The show received 4th place at WGI World Championships in Percussion Independent A-Class, and received the gold medal in the Mid East Performance Association circuit championships.
