Songs from Plato’s Republic, Book I

Patrick here — I recently finished another personal AI-assisted music project that may be of interest to DCMission readers:

Down to the Harbor — Songs from Plato’s Republic, Book I

It’s a folk-jazz songbook based on Book I of Plato’s Republic, following the dialogue from Socrates going down to the Piraeus through the unresolved question of justice.

This is a personal creative experiment rather than an official DCMission project. It is not meant as a substitute for reading Plato, but as a kind of musical memory-palace or set of chapter markers for anyone interested in the text.

Sacred Night Radio — The Scholastic Sessions

It’s a G-Funk / soul-rap EP inspired by Catholic theologians, mystics, and philosophers.
