day pulls down the sky is an album featuring seven songs written by Okwui Okpokwasili between 2012-2018. Some were written specifically for her performance works. They were recorded on January 8, 2019 at the studio of recording engineer John Kilgore. 

The album was developed in collaboration with Judy Hussie-Taylor, Executive Director and Chief Curator of Danspace Project, as part of their work on developing Danspace Project’s PLATFORM 2020: Utterances from the Chorus.

Four of the songs were first performed by Okwui at Danspace Project, including sam’s song on the occasion of dance curator and producer Sam Miller’s memorial service on September 15, 2018.
