A continuous drift between the House’s spacious, oceanic wonder and the quieter, more unsettling discovery of what lies beneath Piranesi’s devotion to it. The instrumental pieces keep a steady, reflective focus while tracing his solitude, the Other’s shadow, and the gradual return of memory and human connection.
