The Museum at Tomorrow

Welcome to the second "season" of the Museum at Tomorrow and other stories!

This season will be my "Quarantine Commissions" - roughly 5 minute audio essays that people commissioned in the early days of the COVID19 outbreak. Each person gave me three words to base a piece on- the following pieces are the result.

I remain ecstatically grateful to everyone who commissioned a piece during that very difficult time. As an independent artist, these pieces allowed me to put food on the table and pay my bills at a time when other work suddenly disappeared.

Commissioned by Makena Levine

Field recordings, archival show audio, voicemail recordings, and vocals by Betsey Palmer and Jeffrey Nils Gardner

Makena's words were: Quarantine, Nostalgia, and Family.
