A Journey Through The Dream World: A Children's Poetry Anthology

Echoes from the past are always lurking in the shadows. You can walk through the Classics building tunnel alone but you won’t be the only presence there. These stone walls are inhabited by ghosts gripping onto their last thread of life force by haunting those who traverse this passageway. Do you dare to listen and let their voices enter your mind?

within the tunnel walls

Birds aren’t real. How else would it be so easy for UChicago to remove the ducks from Botany Pond and drain away the water for a year-long restoration project? Regardless of you stance on birds, put on your headphones, close your eyes, and enjoy a sonic encapsulation of a sunny, idyllic, spring day at Botany Pond, ducks included.

if Botany Pond Wasn't Under Construction

A ghostly composition made from found, recorded, and synthesized sounds.

haunted lullaby

An audio piece in 3 movements chronicling the death of a flock of ducks inhabiting the local pond and their replacement with robotic simulacrums that become just about impossible to distinguish from real ducks once they're placed back in the water.
