Korda was personally affected by the events of 9/11, because he had turned down a reservation on the doomed flight out of Boston that morning, returning from London on 10 September, choosing an earlier direct flight to Los Angeles instead. He witnessed the 9/11 events the next morning and decided to drive to Vancouver Island Canada, to collect his thoughts. While staying in Vancouver, he began developing the concept of a musical, "Coming To", a kind of modern-day "Hair", about the country's psychological aftermath in the months following 9/11 and the collective need for awakening. He also composed many of the songs for his next album "Not for Robots".
