Piranesi Playlist
A continuous current of spacious ambient and modern classical music follows Piranesi’s attentive wandering through the House, with slow-moving textures that suggest its tides, echoing halls, and innumerable statues. The sequence moves from hushed wonder toward submerged unease and disorientation, then returns to a more grounded, human warmth as Piranesi’s understanding changes.
