HOMECOMING brings forgotten ancestral narratives to life through a layered blend of historically recorded African-American music, improvised live sound.

Rooted in the power of the human voice and sound as a healing medium, this project offers participants a transformational listening journey that reconnects them with stories that have been lost for a long time.

Through the use of archival field recordings—church hymns, work songs, and a cappella pieces from the fields and prisons—paired with improvised soundscapes and guided meditation. HOMECOMING becomes a portal to the past, a space of deep reflection, and a call to collective healing.

This offering is not a retelling of all Black experiences in America but rather a dreamlike meditation on voices that echo through time—stories that deserve to be heard, honored, and remembered.
