My name is Jossie Adams and I play bits and bobs and I sing and arrange and write for Arc Iris.

iTomorrow is a hopeful yet quite dystopian futuristic concept record.

It started as a performance art piece.

In 2020, we had a performance of the performance art piece, or maybe I should call it a, what do we call it?

A sci-fi ballet.

Well, the story of iTomorrow takes place in 2080.

And there's our everyman, Robert.

And in this first track, Virtual Rations, a lot of us are out of jobs, so we don't really have a purpose.

And if we do have a job, many of the most interesting aspects of our job are taken by AI.

And a lot of the thinking that we would be doing is stolen by AI.

And so the solution that this giant corporation comes up with is that they create a bunch of AI driven pods that supposedly enrich our lives.

And here in the song, we see Robert making his daily visit to the virtual rations pod where one can dream any dream and live said dream through virtual reality.

And hope.

We had a lot of hope that things were going to open back up and we were going to be able to do it.

With our cats.

It was a really, really difficult time.

But coming out the other side, I think there was a lot about the gift of time that became positive.

Oh, yeah.

We also got married.

Yes.
