COMING SOON - Doctor Misery's City of Music
Can laughter save the mortal soul? Perhaps, as a youth-obsessed mad scientist become the cultural and political leader of a nation. Deceived by his pupil Doctor Praterius, Doctor Misery and Gelsomina are swayed again into creating new realities facilitated by transformative music. Great innovations are on display; AI-created propaganda such as the Mexican Robin Hood La Carambada, musically induced blockchains, knock-off guacamole made from mayonnaise and introducing Crotox, a cryptocurrency based on the value of skin rejuvenators.
Musicians develop personal leitmotifs as they navigate mundane and extraordinary worlds, from the forested hills of New York to the Italian mountaintop city of Ravello, to a neighborhood in Venice where the feeble-minded are shot with Crotox and barred from technologies created after 1980, and finally on a river journey through a South American rainforest, a world that becomes entirely transformed into music. Will music enable higher consciousness or bring about submission by hypnosis? Will it strengthen the conscience or assist Praterius in fulfilling her corrupt ambitions? Will these musicians triumph in ecstasy or whither in anguish? Engaged in battle with dissonant harmonies, they will attempt to reconcile the paradoxes of human nature, proving that music can indeed save the mortal soul.
