“Soliloquy” is based on the short story “The Tell-Tale Heart” (1843) by Edgar Allan Poe, which describes a murder from its conception to its execution, from a first-person perspective.
The protagonist is obsessed with the eye of an old man with whom he lives. He decides to visit the old man every night at midnight, with the aim of killing him if he finds him with his eye open.

I was born in the capital of Chile, and as far as I can remember, music has been an essential part of myself. I gained my musical education from some private lessons by composer and pianist Enrique Rivera, but I'm mostly a self-taught musician. I have a degree in Journalism (Universidad Católica de Chile) and a Master and a PhD in Communications (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona). I teach Nonfiction Writing at Universidad Católica de Chile's Department of Communications, and conduct «La música que cambió mi vida» on Radio Beethoven: https://www.beethovenfm.cl/programa/la-musica-que-cambio-mi-vida/ Some of my scores are here: https://www.scoreexchange.com/profiles/saavedra
