In Joyce's Ulysses, the most important thing is the act of narration, which means that the situations experienced by the three protagonists, both the most banal and the most deep, harmonize so naturally to build one of the most incredible stories of the twentieth century.
HADES is a monodrama based on episode 6 in which Leopold Bloom goes with some fellows to Dignam's funeral. There are three important moments (the three scenes of the monodrama) in which Leopold makes his particular journey to the Greek underworld, making one of the many parallels that the book has with Homer's Odyssey. The first is the journey to Prospect Cemetery in the black carriage, where, accompanied by three other characters, our protagonist is tormented again and again by a series of terrible memories from the past: premature death, infidelity and suicide. The black carriage becomes a suffocating space for Bloom, from which he wishes to escape no matter what.
The second scene, already in Prospect Cemetery, is divided in the same way into three short speeches with an ironic, playful and critical tone towards religion and the church. Bloom is still uncomfortable, despite the fact that the space is now wider than in the carriage.
In the third scene, in the last speech, Bloom makes a reference to one of the phrases Martha Clifford writes to him in one of the hot-dirty letters they secretly send to each other: "back to the world again".
Leopold sees the gates of the cemetery open, and is ready to return to the world again, he still has so much to live and feel.

I’m pleased to share the video score for Bientôt, ou jamais, a piece for cello and electronics, created using the tools provided by @scorefollower .
Bientôt, ou jamais was composed as the final project of the 2024–2025 Cursus de composition et d’informatique musicale at @ircam_paris (Paris).
It was premiered on 10 September 2025 during the Concert du Cursus at the Espace de projection, with @cellochocolate Ciciretti (@ensemble_cairn ), and live electronics by myself and @simconforti .
My sincere thanks, once again, to Alexa Ciciretti for her wonderful performance 🖤

Une rivière qui coule d'un point lumineux vers l'obscurité. Les émotions s'effondrent, étouffent et entraînent l'âme dans une spirale d'inconfort et de peur. Lorsque le temps s’arrête, un instant de paix et de réconfort se révèle. Le silence s’impose, et la nuit devient éternelle.

'Bientôt, ou jamais' for cello and electronics is the piece I presented on 10 September at @ircam_paris , as part of the Soirée du Cursus 24.25.
I couldn't be happier to have had the opportunity to work with Alexa Ciciretti (@cellochocolate ), an incredible musician and person, from whom I've learned so much during the process.
I would also like to highlight the help and support of Simone Conforti, who was my RIM during the months leading up to the concert, and of course the entire technical and pedagogical team at IRCAM, Pierre Jodlowski as associate professor, and all my colleagues at Cursus.
It has been a rather difficult year for me due to issues unrelated to music, but the experience at IRCAM was something special and unique, and I will remember it forever.
🖤
