For composer Eduardo Cioffi, music is not just something to be heard—it's something to be felt.
In his latest work, the Milan-based artist constructs a dark and immersive sonic landscape where electronic textures, manipulated organic sounds, and unconventional recording techniques come together to create an atmosphere of tension and confinement.
The foundation of the score is electronic. Metallic synths carry much of the emotional weight, while strings and percussion are used in unexpected ways. Rather than performing traditional melodies, instruments such as double basses, cellos, and violas are played using extended techniques, functioning almost like percussion to create clusters of sound and a constant sense of unease.
"The first sensation I wanted to convey was oppression and confinement," explains Cioffi.
