At the core of this work lies an innovative notational device, an extended sub-optic notational archetype, inspired by the "extroflections" of Agostino Bonalumi. These shapes, emerging from the tension of canvas pressed into relief, serve as a profound metaphor for the composition's endeavor to transcend the flatness of traditional musical scores and enter a realm of multi-dimensional expression.


The extended sub-optic notation does not simply dictate the pitches and rhythms to be performed; it invites the musicians into a dialogue with the physicality of sound and the elasticity of time. In this sense, the score becomes a living, breathing entity, an extroflection of music itself, stretching beyond the confines of the page into the tactile domain of sonic architecture.
