Urakami, August 9, 1945, 11:02am

With the release of Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer coming next week, I thought it was the right time to complete this piece I started 6 months ago and didn't finish.
The initial idea was planted when I was on a trip to Nagasaki one year and a half ago. While walking the streets in Urakami valley, it was hard to imagine that almost 80 years before, all demons from hell had been unleashed there...

This piece started as a sonic experimentation with the contemporary music genre known as sonorism and loosely based on György Ligeti's work which got me hypnotized the first time I heard it in Stanley Kubrick's 2001, A Space Odyssey.
At the beginning this was just noodling around with dense textures but very quickly, remembering my trip in Nagasaki, it became very clear what this piece would be about: A short journey in the horror on August 9, 1945, 11:02 am.
