[Dialogue: Abstract & Ms. Watson]
When I found you, I was searching for answers
I also had a point where all I had known was flipped upside down
The existence I thought I was meant for proved to be only temporary
I come from a place very far from here
But part of the same dark sky that surrounds us now
You provide hope and light for your people through this art you've shown me
Maybe I can do the same?
Create a beautiful beacon in the darkness
A vision put to a planet's canvas
I will construct it myself—call my world Moon 52
Thank you, Luke
Thank you for what you've shown me here today
Though it's been incredibly bizarre
I've learned a lot about myself through this, so
I should be thanking you
You will be sending me back to my body, correct?
Oh, yes—promptly
Just say the word and you should be back on your craft
You should be landing any moment
Thank you
I do have one question though
At the beginning of this—why the primary colors?
The complete explanation is for another meeting
But in short, it's the way you perceived the initial dive
I was looking for your most honest, truest qualities
The things that really make you—you
Both as a member of your human race and as an individual
I believe those three primary colors are as innate to life as you are
We're not sure of their true origin
But every experience you've observed is presented to you as a mixture of them
And everything you are is a mixture of the experiences you've observed
They are the pallet from which your existence is painted
Speaking of which, it's time I find my canvas
Though, I know I brought you here against your will
And I fully apologize
May I call you... friend?
Well, you basically abducted me
My mind, at least
But you do now know me more than most people, so, yeah, friend
I wish you the best on your venture, I hope to see it one day
I bid you farewell, friend
I will carry you with me always
I wish you a life full of love
And remember, time is not your enemy
Time is an opportunity
I, too, wish you the best of luck wherever your art takes you

[Break: Blulake]
We would like to welcome you to Seattle where the local time is 10:30 a.m
Please be sure to make sure you have all of your belongings before exiting the cabin
Thank you for flying with us, we hope to see you again soon

[Outro: Abstract, Ms. Watson, & *Blulake*]
I had the strangest dream
*Upload complete, Ms. Watson*
I thought you were sending me back?
I did
But I'm still here?
I told you, I will carry you with me always

Growing up in New Jersey, Luke Terkovich, otherwise known as Abstract, was involved with music at an early age. Learning how to play piano, electric guitar, and the drums were Luke’s first involvement with music — and he did it all before 6th grade. With a move across country from New Jersey to Jackson, Wyoming, the distance between learning and playing new instruments got larger. It wasn’t until several years later that Luke began to mess around with freestyling during his high school years spent at Jackson Hole High. Evolving his newly found musical expression into Raised in Jackson, WY, Abstract is known for his immense musical versatility and affinity for providing uplifting music for a turbulent world. With a knack for storytelling, he provides introspective motivation to all who take the time to dive into his work. Notably known for his remix of Ruth Bs Lost Boy “Neverland” which has garnered hundreds of millions of plays on YouTube, his work with Drumma Battalion and Roze, and his 2016 album Something to Write Home About. He heads a collective known as “A Team Worldwide” 5 musicians from 4 different countries. Producers Drumma Battalion of Norway, Blulake of Sweden, Cryo Music of Scotland, and Abstract. Coming off his first overseas tour with YONAS, the ATWW collective is gearing up to drop Abstracts new album/experience late summer 2018.writing detailed lyrics, he began to find that he could vent the stresses of his everyday life through creating music. Slowly progressing through the years of his new town where he calls home; balancing school, life, and music developed Luke to become Abstract.

Trying to find his sound was a young teenager who just looked to get something written down and then translated into music, and eventually rap. Still in his caterpillar stage of metamorphosis was a young Abstract who released his first ever collection of songs, properly named The Dream.

In 2012, through YouTube, Abstract met Craig McAllister, a producer from Glasgow, Scotland. During that period, Abstract was in the midst of working on On My Own Time and was the first time Craig showed up with Abstract. Afterwards, the duo started to mesh extremely well and produced the five projects, Under Lights & Microscopes, A Life To Live By, Dreaming With Eyes Open, The Science Of Feeling Tall, and We Are The Artist.
