Seeking a screenwriter/playwriter/songwriter for a cool new project.

Hey all! I am not sure if this is an exact fit for Airgigs, but thought I'd give it a shot and see if this resonates with any of you all! I am looking for a *collaborator* of sorts on a new musical I am working on, and want to co-develop a sort of 'minimum viable product / proof of concept' for the piece. I am a composer/DJ/engineer/guitarist by trade, and had previously written a Lord of the Rings symphony in a classical style following the story of the Fellowship of th ... e Ring, as well as numerous EDM and electronic albums.

I have this concept to do a follow up of the Two Towers, but totally reimagined into a new and original musical / story / song concept. Imagine the Two Towers, but cyberpunk / apocalyptic future-scape a-la the Matrix series, Mad Max, etc. I have quite a bit of it fleshed out, but looking for the perfect and like-minded collaborator to take a look at it with me and potentially co-write and co-produce elements!

Brief synopsis:

In a dystopian future, 'The Audience' (styled after Sauron) controls humanity through mind-altering headphones that play hypnotic beats created by DJ Techno-©rat (Elon Musk styled after Saruman), backed by his army of tech-bro followers, the Deruk-Hai. The resistance is led by DJ Antidote, who uses complex DNB rhythms to break mind control, and teams up with The Guitarist, a fallen rock legend (modeled after Theoden) he frees from control. They seek her former bandmates - Matthew, Raymond, and Hannah - whose combined musical power could help turn the tide. Meanwhile, a mysterious refugee named John (modeled after Frodo) seems immune to the control and carries a secret mission to destroy the source of The Audience's power. The Writers of Roe-Han (riders of Rohan, lol), a biker gang, create counter-narrative beats to fight back. As the resistance grows, they must face DJ Techno-©rat's corporate beats and notification-laced drops in an ultimate musical battle for humanity's freedom.
