"The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become."
– Charles DuBois

Synthesizing music, film, and an unforgettable live experience, this innovative indie band, X: THC is
evolving and redefining how a live show is presented and experienced within the model of the music industry.

Musically, X: THC combines chilled, shattered beats, soulful vibe, and edgy indie rock songwriting to create a lush, ambient soundscape. The songs conjure shades of post-punk, new
wave, and electronica- yet they weave a seductive, hypnotic sound all their own.

The immersive, live concert performance is accompanied by X: THC"s original film, X: The Human Condition,
whose wistful and mysterious imagery creates an utterly unique and uplifting experience. Citing Tim Burton,
Michel Gondry, Jean Cocteau, and The Brothers Grimm as major influences, X: THC’s visual companion
to the performance is a deep surrealistic, psychological trip inside the human subconscious.

X: THC’s musicians are diverse artists who have produced sound design for HBO, Showtime, ABC, SciFi, USA, and Oxygen networks, performed with, or played on albums by Public Enemy, Popa Chubby, DJ Red Alert, The NY Chamber Opera, and shared stages with Costanza, Mudville, Natalie Walker, BM Linx, J.Viewz, and many more.

X: The Human Condition, the album, was produced by Michael Nova and Ninjaboy.

X: THC’s Michael Nova is an existential explorer. A powerful performer, composer, filmmaker and
producer, Michael is releasing his multimedia music and film project, X: The Human Condition after
over a decade of, at times, seemingly insurmountable challenges, countered by an innate creative perseverance.

Michael worked for 12 years, with the help of hundreds of actors, musicians and crew, who volunteered
or cut their rates to work on the project, because of the message of the music and film. His goal was to
do "one good thing"- to create a live music and film project that would inspire people to
overcome challenges in life, but he was about to face more challenges than he ever imagined.

With no previous experience, Michael had directed and was in the process of co-editing the film, when things
took a turn for the worse. He suddenly developed multiple serious ailments. He lost his vision,was diagnosed
with kidney disease, and at high risk for heart disease. X: The Human Condition seemed doomed.

But though all this, something incredible was happening. The story of X: The Human Condition was now
reflecting through to his real life and his real life reflected the story. They were coming together in a twisted,
yet beautiful way. And it was when he could not see, that he saw what could not be seen.

With this realization, he underwent intense rehabilitation, strengthening his resolve to complete this "one good thing."
A full recovery was not expected, but it is amazing what you can do when you are passionate about something.

With the goal of inspiring people through the music and film, the behind the scenes story of X: The Human Condition
now became an inspiration in itself. The project is a tribute to humanity – it’s flaw, and it’s perfection.
We can all hurt; we can all feel alone – yet we can all heal ourselves with our emotions, our beliefs and our minds.

In order to affect concrete change in others’ lives, X: THC is donating a portion of proceeds from
ticket and album sales of X: The Human Condition to www.halfofus.com and www.afsp.org.
