-
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital AlbumTheta is a studio band comprised of 5 members
We are a Toronto based group of multi-faceted individuals influenced by a wide range of artists; for example Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Radiohead, Jaga Jazzist, Stravinski, Bela Fleck, Mike Oldfield, Rush, Liquid Tension Experiment and Sigur Ros.
Creatively, we drift more towards the progressive, ambient, avant garde genres, and we often incorporate thematic and conceptual material in the music we produce. We, though, are not confined to such boundaries and also endeavor to write in all forms of music to extend our boundaries personally and to contribute to the flow of the artform.

about
Through The Vanishing Point is the story of a man who leaves behind a mundane and lagging life in both the hope of something extraordinary and the fear of regretful mediocrity. He leaves his home and past comforts in the pursuit of an as-yet unrealized goal with only artistic awareness as his guide.
His destination is the cultural capital of the world, New York City. By chance he meets a modest stranger on the street of no obvious significance on mere impression but as they begin to talk, the stranger reveals to him with calm and calculated authority, a detailed history of future events. The revelation leaves him puzzled and overloaded. Not a long time passes before all interest in this fresh mythology evaporates; to him it is mere conjecture and not worth much more than the storyboard of wonders that it is. And then as if precisely planned, all things predicted happen thunderously, the sky falling down on him from above.
He watches as the frame upon which his worldview rests is demolished. His understanding of past and present is torn down and reduced to rubble and in his despair and blindness he willingly marches against the enemy in loyalty to a faraway crown. On the battleground he comes to know violence and prayer, soldier and victim – the base ability of human nature to manifest both in proud strength and weak cowardice and, ultimately, how easily that beautiful but fickle nature can be swayed to any end.
He comes to understand both the significance and insignificance of a human life and lies torn between despair and hope; despair because of the troubles at hand and hope because the revelation given him was focused not on tribulation but on a coming source of life available to all. The telling of the story ends with him caught in the midst of these two opposing pulls and he is left with only the option of steadfast resilience – a swathe of hope in a gallery of despair.
