Dyslexia explores the relationship between perception and distortion through the unique tuning of the microtonal e-piano. The work translates the experience of disrupted reading and thinking into sound—where familiar harmonic patterns appear, shift, and dissolve. Notes seem to hesitate or collide, creating a language both fragmented and expressive. Rather than depicting confusion, the piece embraces difference and reinterpretation, suggesting that beauty can emerge from altered understanding—a reimagined form of musical logic and emotional clarity within disorder.
