Perpetual Drift is a radio art work that depicts a futuristic world. The earth has undergone drastic climate changes and a crew aboard a lost ship at sea endure a series of tragic events and struggle to adapt to an uncertain future. The ship’s crew are: Ether (a transmissions artist), the Captain, the ship's Navigator (a depressed robot poet), Echo (the mythical nymph), and the Specialist (Scientist), a female Botanist/Scientist who specializes in botanical life. The story embodies the environmental crisis we face as a collective human family and the death of old structures giving way to evolution, new life forms, systems, and organizations. I perform each character’s voice, and composed the electro-acoustic soundtrack using analog and digital synths, appropriated sound, and field recordings. 

The original version of Perpetual Drift was written in 2014 and performed live at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, NY. For this new audio version, the piece was resurrected earlier this year, new parts were written, and was fully performed and recorded in 2020.
