Sapiens: Exploring the Human Conflict
Files
Abstract
Sapiens is an orchestral piece that traces the journey of humanity—from the rise of consciousness to the critical crossroads we now face with the emergence of advanced technology. Structured in four acts and based on an original script written specifically for this CE project, the work explores pivotal moments in our evolutionary story. This paper documents the entire creative process: from the initial concept and scriptwriting, to scoring the music, preparing materials for recording, and mixing the final piece. It concludes with a reflection on our role as a species in an increasingly automated world, asking whether we will give in to the alienating forces of our own technological creations or enter a new renaissance that moves us into the next phase of human evolution.
