This piece actually really got to me. At the section around 8 minutes in, amidst all the calm of the meditative strings, I got this feeling of what it means to make peace with the digital era. Once you get yourself past the constant stream of advertisements and information designed to grab your attention and distract you, once you realize that the internet is an integral part of society and your life that rejection will only lead to a messier adaptation, you get this moment of calm where you are where you want to be. You understand how to avoid the sensory overload and the anxiety inducing ever increasing speeding while still enjoying the benefits of having access to the largest center of information humanity has ever created without fully rejecting it from the sense of overload that comes from the constant mindless scrolling. This piece, at its most glorious, represents this balance we can achieve, while at its most anxious, teaching us about distress of leaving it.

Dizzying, horrifying and strangely beautiful. Absolutely brilliant writing; very refreshing!!!!

The creativity and resourcefulness this piece exhibits are truly awe-inspiring, I hope to be able to bring forth works as original and well thought-out as this some day.

interesting

[@gigogrom216]

This piece definetely gives positive vibes, but now we should take this more strictly. We need music scientists to determine this piece's artistic value. I personally have problems with understanding structure of this

[@i_am_a_music_maker5212]

This is difficult to listen to, thought I suppose that was the intentio

[@classicallpvault8251]

I was expecting something from Noteperformer made as a joke but this crap is actually commissioned and performed by a high profile chamber ensemble? WTF is wrong with contemporary classical music?
