Objectives:

• Create accessibility to academic and technical materials for interested people of all incomes, cultures, and neurotypes.

• Facilitate intellectual growth through musical engagement

• Recover the art of the common practice era (1685-1913) and return it to the hands of the contemporary proletariat.

• Endeavor to meet these humanitarian obligations through music.

Paper Chain describes the extraterrestrial feeling of displacement between vast prairie skies and mutinous metropolitan energy. It belongs everywhere and it belongs nowhere. The music is an academic conversation delivered through earnest lyrical content and intentionally memorable melody.
