The Second Coming of Christ or Paranoia and Delusions? An Inspiration Story

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - Jan. 18, 2014 - PRLog -- YgO "The virtual band beyond belief" is not only the world's first virtual band solo project for both the visual art and music, but topics of critical thinking and skepticism are not too common in the arts world either. What exactly was the inspiration for this unique project?

For the first time publicly, Atom, the artist/musician behind YgO, shares an embarassing, yet exciting, story. This chain of events eventually led to the inspiration behind the YgO virtual band. Up until this point, only a few family members and close friends had heard the story. In Epidsode 36 of The Herd Mentality Podcast, there's an exclusive interview with show host Adam Reakes.

Atom tells the story of how one night's strange experience led to sleep deprivation and triggered a manic episode that put him in a mental health facility. The whole chain of events included a couple trips to the emergency room and some extremely delusional thinking. Hear how this dramatic, life changing event, in more ways than one, ended up being a positive turn for the better. Critical thinking skills, science and reason turn out to be the savior and the artist's greatest inspiration.

It was an honor for Atom to be on this relatively new podcast, which has already had some notable guests. Those past interviewees include well known podcast hosts, notable scientists, writers and actor Ricky Gervais.

While the interview doesn't delve into every single detail of the story or the virtual band, the foundation is laid. It lasts about 20 minutes and is the first feature of the podcast. The birth of YgO, the virtual band beyond belief, may not have happened without this manic episode and temporary brush with insanity.
