Oscillation no. 6: Oxytocin follows the diffusion of this neurotransmitter as it courses through neural networks, triggering sensations of love and attachment. Searching melodies and luminous harmonies mirror the narcotic pull of these involuntary signals, feeling both irresistible and profound. Unmoored from a stable key, the phrases move towards possible resolution, finding unexpected places to light. The movement of this molecule is a window into how the imperceptible can transform and consume our inner realities.

Oxytocin is from Bodies in Motion: 11 Oscillations from the Observable Universe, a series of piano solos inspired by the many ways movement shapes our universe, from the smallest particles to the largest cosmic phenomena. Each piece captures a different kind of motion, inviting listeners to reflect on our place in a beautiful and volatile cosmos.
