Brooklyn-based artist, storyteller and U.S. Air Force veteran Eon ReZ works across music, spoken word and serial storytelling, with a taste for subjects that can swallow an entire album: consciousness, perception, physics, the connections between people. “Strings of Connection,” from his second album, “The Resonance of Existence,” puts those interests inside a blend of rock, soul, blues and electronic percussion. That combination gives his ideas something practical to work with. A philosophical conversation gets considerably more appealing once a bassline enters the room.

There’s a useful distinction between where this song appears and where it belongs in his creative history. Although it features on his second album, “Strings of Connection” was the first track to establish the sound and thinking behind the wider ReZ Universe.

It introduced what he calls “the hum”: an underlying connection between people, matter and the universe, understood through vibration, memory, energy and shared experience. For an artist building a project around such expansive subjects, that makes this song a particularly revealing place to start. Here, the central idea still has the scale of a single composition.

Eon ReZ’s ambition is clear. He wants a song to entertain, communicate a worldview and contribute to a continuing story. “Strings of Connection” gives that ambition a focused starting point, with blues, soul and gospel supplying the human character and electronic percussion bringing contemporary momentum. That is a tangible expression of connection, and it gives the larger project a foundation listeners can understand through the performance.
