The scientist as singer/songwriter

Once Upon Deep Time is a pop/rock song cycle about the evolution of hearing and our connection to the tree of life.

I created these songs to inspire wonder about our shared natural history and to convey the passion that drives me as a scientist. These 12 original songs tell a story, based on what we know from fossils and the living world around us, about how we came to perceive sound and how sound connects us to a living past.

​

Singles will be released summer and fall of 2022. The tentative release date of the full album is December 2022.

​

Beyond the music, the project will include visual media and more to come this Fall 2022.
