The New Year Protocol Series is the first of its kind: an album that develops and evolves over time; a story told throughout the years, and a testament to a distant future; but also, a story of growth - of the artist behind it all.
The series debuted in January 2016, and is slated to last 10 years, with one chapter every January until its completion in 2025.

Since New Year Protocol 5 (2020), now you too can help The Humans.
