Composer Ferdinando DeSena dives head first into the world of electronic composition with his piece Deco Shuffle, an audio visual experience that follows the journey of a pinball as it travels through vibrant, abstract, and sprawling scenes in far away realms. The music is equally as diverse as its various backdrops, utilizing contemporary classical harmonic language, rhythmic figures rooted in jazz, and more anchored by deep, driving pocket grooves throughout. Paired with a fully animated short film by PARMA Senior Graphic Designer Edward Flemming, DeSena’s Deco Shuffle moves freely, constantly evolving and smoothly blending seemingly disparate ideas into a truly unique multi-sensory experience.
