About the Globe - Note from The Silent Years:

We were watching the film “Powers of 10,” which they used to show in middle school science classes. In the film, the camera starts out, framed on a couple having a picnic. Every 10 seconds, the field of view expands by a power of ten–the picnic becomes Chicago, Chicago becomes North America, and soon you’re seeing the Earth in the context of its solar system. This got us thinking about the similarities between mankind and all other components of the universe. An atom is to a cell, as a cell is to a man, as man is to the Earth, as the Earth is to the universe, etc…

The Globe is a collection of songs which reflect on humanity and the human experience through varying tales which shift focus from the minute to the abstract and gradually expands to the universal.

The Globe was chosen as the title since it serves as a very perfect symbol of scale being an integral part of our definitions of self and reality.
