Because it's the same material at both centers, nothing in the music itself pulls a listener toward one side; only their physiology decides. The harmony stays deliberately open throughout — extended ninths, elevenths, sixth/ninths — with no true dominant-to-tonic motion anywhere in the piece. Even its one moment of "home" arrives by...]]></description><link>https://www.marmaladeskiesstudio.com/post/why-heartbeam-never-resolves</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a99c5b6cdf183e023068ad9</guid><pubDate>Thu, 03 Sep 2026 19:08:38 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Giacomo Reggente</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heartbeam — F Minor / C Minor Movement]]></title><description><![CDATA[Heartbeam is the piece I'm developing for IACS's HEARTBEAM: Heart-Brain Engagement for Adolescent Meditation protocol — a heart-brain neurofeedback study for adolescents, funded by the Tiny Blue Dot Foundation. This movement layers the F minor and C minor stems together into their combined stereo mix, 55 BPM, built to breathe with the study's guided sessions. Guest of honor: Suuvi Bacelar joins on cello, bringing a live, human warmth to this movement. Meet Suuvi on the IACS site.

I sat with it and this is what came through in one sitting. This is an independent spec composition — written in response to the film, not commissioned by or affiliated with Icon Productions or Lionsgate.]]></description><link>https://www.marmaladeskiesstudio.com/post/descent-into-hell-a-spec-sketch-inspired-by-the-resurrection-of-the-christ</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a99c0ece12fa7bad8b3c4c3</guid><pubDate>Thu, 03 Sep 2026 18:48:12 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Giacomo Reggente</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
