EXPLORE THE CITY OF MUSIC
Amazon Bestseller - Humorous Science Fiction
"Beside me on the left hand, appeared an angel...In his hands I saw a great golden spear, and at the iron tip there appeared to be a point of fire...This he plunged into my heart several times...The sweetness caused by this intense pain is so extreme that one cannot possibly wish it to cease."
DOCTOR MISERY'S PARADOX
Does music have a conscience, or does it perpetuate our current state of mind, whether virtue, desire, anger, deviancy or madness? Doctor Bruno Mizzieri, an explorer of the mind who would have likely become a renowned astrophysicist had fate not forced him into a wicked trap, grapples with this question every day. Explore the musical concepts in CITY OF MUSIC and create your own personal leitmotifs to see if music can unlock the unconscious and create a path to enlightenment, rapture, ecstasy or....madness! But let's not get carried away. You may just experience the joy of comedy, perhaps the highest form of human intelligence after cooking.

Can laughter save the mortal soul? Perhaps, as a youth-obsessed mad scientist becomes 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 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 mesmerization? Will it strengthen the conscience or assist Praterius in fulfilling her corrupt ambitions? Engaged in battle with dissonant harmonies, they will attempt to reconcile the mystifying paradoxes of human nature, proving that music can indeed save the mortal soul.
