REBIRTH OF THE AFRONAUTS ~ ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK BY NON
Producer NON composes at an astral-travelling original score for 21 Black Future’s REBIRTH OF THE AFRONAUTS: A Black Space Odyssey. The 7th Episode of the anthology series’ Season 2 is written by playwright MOTION, directed by JEROME KRUIN and performed by actor CHELSEA RUSSELL. Part musical, part spoken word opera, the cinematic play/film hybrid follows the journey of one young woman who receives a mysterious call, and ends up on the journey of her life.
The creative team was excited to work with NON, who composed the original music after reading the script. A special mix of the futurist-themed soundscape can now be heard
It’s New Year’s Eve 2059, the night before the long-awaited Reparations Day, and Chariott receives a mysterious call that leads her on a ride through the world outside her bubble. Cities are sky-high, a curfew is on and it’s hard to tell humans from holograms. On this surreal road trip, she tunes into BlackSpaceX Radio and, helped along by a cadre of cryptic guides, finds herself on the astronomical journey of her life.
Original Music Composed By: NON Tracks Mixed By: David Ariza
