For new Metropolis score I played a dusted-off modular, a synthetic string quartet with untamed elbow energy, four artificial contrabassoons with huge lungs, and a whining 8-voice drone-patch in 31-EDO. I made an app and python scripts for parametric MIDI generation.

I have composed a new score for METROPOLIS, which premiered in Krakow in July 2025.

2.5 hours is no joke, so I harnessed a whole arsenal of tricks, and the result is a rather precise soundtrack - tons of MIDI and synchronization down to almost a second.
