The four trajectories of self
A story of young people's struggles and liberation carved into sound.
Built around the themes of mod culture and the confusion of youthful identity, this fast-paced rock opera is a testament to the four voices of rebellion, anxiety, loneliness, and idealism that lurk within the protagonist Jimmy, intertwined through a rich mix of synths, guitars, chorus, and sound effects. The composition, which oscillates between uplifting and tranquil moments, draws the listener into the story and retains a timeless universality that remains relevant today.
