TAT TVAM ASI: a film that withholds its own leading tone

TAT TVAM ASI is Song 17 in Out of Your Mind. The whole film is D Mixolydian, so there is no C sharp anywhere in it, which means the music has no leading tone and physically cannot cadence. At the apex the note is finally allowed to exist and the film lands. There are exactly three C sharps in the piece. The world is the inside of an eye, and the pupil dilates on the beat.
