come back to earth is a concept ep and piece of vocal theatre written by myself in response to the Parables novels by Octavia Butler. Rather than chronicle the events of the books, come back to earth uses music and songwriting to reflect on the Earthseed writings and parallel experiences of dystopic conditions and community building in my own life. The piece can be performed solo or with an ensemble. In addition to adding selections of come back to earth for my act, I have used come back to earth to create a music-social curriculum called ‘glacial humming.’ ‘glacial humming’ is an open-level music practice currently taking place in Brooklyn, with plans to travel in a workshop format.
