Through a circular opening in the cave, issuing we again beheld the stars

Paradiso, Canto I
Paradiso, Canto II
Inspired by Dante Alighieri’s poem and influenced by Gustave Doré’s illustrations, building a symphonic “palette” of musical pigments, pictorial tones, and textures that reconcile epic narrative and expressionist musical form. My desire is not to illustrate but rather to tell a story of an alternative world that is set in motion by paying attention to the perceptions and feelings of listeners.
The moments in this story are stitched in an immersive journey of colourful music that listeners traverse as if watching a film or reading a novel.
