Rottenness
The first months of composing Rottenness were simultaneous with the writing of a story that was ultimately absorbed by the music. But what is absorbed shapes what absorbs it, and the three chapters of the story became the three movements of Rottenness.
I - Chainsaw Massacre Ballad
One theme is that of a planet with a single inhabitant. The other is placing events after or as a consequence of a context of destruction.
II - The Eclipse
In the constellation of Ophiuchus, orbiting the star Gliese 628, there is a planet three times the size of Earth that its only inhabitant named Dante A. Although its orbital period is only 17 days and 15 hours, an eclipse involving Dante A., Gliese, and its two moons takes longer to occur than the entirety of human history.
III - A Hasty Ending
As in some stories by Ted Chiang or Asimov, the end is a beginning. By the bank of a river on Dante A., our protagonist waits in fear but at peace. Rottenness is one of the many forms from which life emerges.
