This work will explore the nature of human connection and how we make sense of our own and each other’s humanity, as we move towards a society more deeply mediated by artificial intelligence. I will bring together an interdisciplinary team of creatives from within the Philadelphia artistic community and beyond to stage this production in the summer of 2026 as my dissertation for the PhD in music composition at the University of Pennsylvania. My goal is to create a work that is both musically poignant and also to facilitate an exciting opportunity for collaboration between a group of incredible artists, bringing to life a work that will push and blur the boundaries of all of our respective media.
