The MOAD Suite was created for the Museum of the African Diaspora (MOAD) in San Francisco. The museum is an exciting new technology-driven facility focused on human migration from Africa, the cradle of humankind. MOAD is dedicated to celebrating the universal connection of all people. In music we find the threads of our soul, interwoven and intersecting with those of our universal family. Wherever we live in the world - India, Fiji, Germany, Japan, France, Mexico or the United States - everyone is part of the African Diaspora, literally, the scattering of people from their ancestral homeland in Africa, birthplace of us all. Listen carefully and you will find familiar strains in the emotional movements of MoAD suite, as you move from the most basic of rhythms to compelling and complex scores. MoAD showcases the art, culture and history of the African Diaspora to encourage an awareness of cultural diversity, and the inclusion of all rather than the exclusion of some.
