"Rover" is a one-man musical written, designed, and performed entirely by me in 2017. The story personified the Sojourner Mars rover and explored its relationship with NASA after losing communication channels but persevering alone on Mars.

​

The performance featured an hour of continuous sound design and underscoring, a live piano solo, and five vocal songs, the last of which, "Pass You By," slowly integrated sound effects and static to replace the lyrics in an effort to show the rover losing the last of its power.
