This was made for a little composition contest where the assignment was to create a 1-minute "jingle" with some relation to Marc Charpentier's Prelude to the Te Deum. You may know this prelude as the theme music preceding the broadcasts of the European Broadcasting Union. Here played live on a prophet rev2 synthesizer, about one year ago. It didn't get selected for the contest, so I decided to make it public now.

![[Experimental] One chord requiem for virtual piano
Some weeks ago, a 13 year-old took her own life after being bullied and physically assaulted inside and outside of school and harassed online. Literally everyone she reached out to for help (school, police and social media moderators) did literally nothing to help, in some cases brushing it off as not worthy of their time, culminating into tragedy. For some reason this news story hit hard and the way I feel most comfortable to deal with such news is to express it in sound.
In this experimental piece, I use a form of minimalism, repeating the same 24 note wide dissonant chord spread over the virtual piano keyboard over and over, only varying individual note volumes and timings, bringing out some patterns hiding in the mess. Many attempts to say the same thing in a different way, ending in emptiness. [Experimental] One chord requiem for virtual piano](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aUGN7PIJmts/mqdefault.jpg)
