Mission
To transform the invisible psychological landscape of conspiracy culture into sound—inviting audiences to experience, confront, and reflect upon the emotional and cognitive confusion of our current era.
Approach
Written for string orchestra, Conspiranoia explores the instability of perception through layered textures, unresolved harmonies, and references to historical forms such as the ricercare. The music mirrors how conspiracy theories imply structure while generating confusion. Instead of offering resolution, the piece remains suspended in ambiguity—encouraging listeners to sit with uncertainty in an age shaped by disinformation and blurred realities.
Impact
Conspiranoia engages contemporary audiences through its sharp musical response to themes of disinformation and perception. By translating complex ideas—such as media distortion and truth erosion—into a clear, immersive sonic experience, the work offers both artistic commentary and cultural relevance. In an era shaped by emotional manipulation and blurred realities, it stands as a measured, resonant contribution to the evolving language of new music.
roadmap
Following its successful premiere, the work is set to establish itself within the contemporary repertoire, with potential future performances and recordings expanding its reach
