An ethereal soundscape inspired by Calvino's surreal cities, where the music becomes a space for reflection—a clearing where the boundaries between imagination and reality blur, much like Calvino's Esmeralda city. Here, time and space seem to bend and flow, revealing hidden dimensions of existence that resonate with the notion of being-in-the-world. Listen to it with eyes closed. Through subtle harmonies and atmospheric textures, each note and chord becomes a brushstroke and a spatial coordinate painting a portrait of urban dreams and existential inquiry. It's a journey of spatial exploration and discovery, where the act of creating music becomes a means of dwelling poetically in ideas and imagery.

"Recyclophonitecture" is an ambitious exploration of spatial sound that aims to push the boundaries of modern composition. At its core, the composition revolves around the concept of recycling melodies, where themes are deconstructed and reassembled throughout the piece, creating a continuous evolution of sound.

The work begins with a classical string quartet, only to transform into a fully realized electronic orchestra. This transition highlights an innovative approach to blending acoustic and digital elements, merging traditional instrumentation with futuristic electronic textures.

Thematically, "Recyclophonitecture" delves into the idea of visualizing space through sound creating a sound architecture. The use of layered soundscapes allows the listener to experience a three-dimensional sense of space, with each note building an auditory architecture that expands and contracts in real time. This fusion of music and spatial design offers a unique listening experience, emphasizing the dynamic relationship between sound, time, and perception.

Ultimately, the piece serves as a compelling statement on how sound can shape our experience of space, offering a fresh perspective on both musical structure and sensory engagement.
