Paolo Tuscanni, at just twenty years old, wore the weight of the world with the gravity of someone much older. His eyes, once bright with the boundless enthusiasm of youth, had dulled to a hardened skepticism. These were eyes that had witnessed too much, absorbed too many disappointments, and carried the stories of broken dreams and shattered hopes.

Paolo, like many of his generational peers, found himself adrift in a sea of uncertainty, the bright future he was promised now a distant, mocking mirage. He bore the physical and emotional scars of a tumultuous journey—each one a testament to his battles against a world he increasingly viewed with cynicism and distrust.

From a young age, Paolo had been acutely aware of the world's contradictions. The promises of a Utopian society, one of endless possibilities and equality, had been eroded by the harsh realities of economic disparity, political corruption, and environmental decay. He watched as those around him struggled to reconcile their aspirations with the stark truth of a world driven by greed and self-interest...

The sonic aspects of this Audio-visual composition are best experienced with hardware (speakers, over-the-ear headphones, ear pods, etc.) capable of a wide dynamic range. There are sonic nuances that are biased towards the lower frequencies (low ends), and some that are biased towards the higher frequencies (high ends). These sonic nuances add character and texture to the composition that may otherwise be lost.

This composition uses (and at times subverts the very idea of) the following compositional techniques: Rhythm, Pulse, Tempo, Polyrhythms & Polymeters, Phasing, Polytempi, Counterpoint, etc. Rhythm, Tempo & Time Signatures are treated as dynamic concepts, not static constructs beholden to any particular musical tradition or orthodoxy.

☆ Polyrhythms & Polymeters, in particular, are compositional techniques that describe pulses which are de-synchronous between two.

☆ A #polyrhythm is the simultaneous use of two or more #rhythms that are not readily perceived as deriving from one another or more sequences of music. Given 2 bars of the same length and #tempo (stacked vertically), a polyrhythm would be dividing the upper bar into 4 beats and the lower one into 3 beats.

☆ A #polymeter is where two sequences are played using different meters, but with the same tempo. For example a pattern that repeats a sequence over 5/4 played against one repeating over 4/4.

☆ #Phasing is a compositional technique in which the same part is played on two musical instruments, in steady but not identical tempi. Thus, the two instruments gradually shift out of unison, creating, first a slight echo as one instrument plays a little behind the other, then a doubling effect with each note heard twice, then a complex ringing effect, and eventually coming back through

☆ #Counterpoint is the relationship between two or more musical lines (or voices) which are harmonically #interdependent yet #independent in rhythm & melodic contour.

☆ The term #mode or modus is used in a number of distinct senses, depending on context. Its most common use may be described as a type of musical scale coupled with a set of characteristic melodic & harmonic behaviors.
