MUSIC FOR LEIBOWITZ

MUSIC FOR LEIBOWITZ is a symphonic poem in nine movements inspired by Walter M. Miller Jr.'s masterpiece. An audiovisual journey where thirty-six nuclear detonations give way to the silence of the Utah desert, to elderly hands cradling lost photographs, to novices copying circuits with goose quills under the relentless sun. Two Latin phrases—Memoria servanda est and Requiem for a Falling World—weave an elegy on the eternal cycle of civilization: destruction, oblivion, rebirth... and destruction again. Sacred minimalism, electronic drones, and choirs torn apart by radio static accompany black-and-white images and desert landscapes filmed with the solemnity of a ritual. It is not an adaptation. It is a sonic tribute to those who preserve memory when the world chooses to forget. Will a light in the darkness be enough?
