“I like listening to these pieces in my car, or when I’m going to sleep, or when I’m reading or when I feel sick, tired, or stressed and I need some soothing, healing or relaxation,” Greg Davis says of the two widescreen, ever-ascending drone pieces that comprise blue fifty-three.

There was this, but apparently it's a CGI concept and not something they actually did

I’ve arrived at Yale and will soon present the results of my year-long residency so far. But this project will continue, because in 2026 the literary part will be joined by musical and exhibition components. The premiere will take place in New Haven, London, and Gdańsk. More to come.
