"Green Town, CA" was commissioned by Nicole Brancato for the 2021 performance of "The Illustrated Pianist"— an imaginative multimedia concert of all new piano works inspired by the great American author Ray Bradbury’s timeless novel The Illustrated Man, in celebration of Bradbury’s 100th birthday in 2020.

"Green Town, CA" is inspired by the book's fourteenth chapter, "The Concrete Mixer." In the chapter, martians travel to Earth and arrive in Green Town, California; where they are welcomed with bizarre celebration as customers to be won over.
