Il secondo brano, Passacaglia Poetica, vuole rappresentare il tempo misurabile, metronomico, inesorabile, limitato, finito, umano. Gli elementi costitutivi sono due: un corale realizzato dall’allungamento di alcuni campioni vocali e la loro trasposizione, quasi una passacaglia, che muove l’ harmonia mundi. Sul corale si innestano i frammenti della voce, prima simili a gocce di suono, poi via via più definiti. Queste pulsazioni creano dei ritmi binari e ternari in collisione tra loro. In sottofondo emergono gradualmente i versi, appena percettibili e disturbati dal pulviscolo di frammenti vocali. La voce è infine assorbita dal ritmo ossessivo e culmina in un potente crescendo, ossatura di tutto il brano.

The second track, Passacaglia Poetica, is representing the measurable time: metronomic, relentless, limited, finite, and human. The main elements are two: a choral made by the time-stretching and transposition of the vocal samples, repeated as a passacaglia, which metaphorically moves the harmonia mundi. The chorale accompanies the voice fragments, at the beginning presented as sound drops, then gradually more discernible. These pulses generate binary and ternary rhythms which are colliding. In the background there are the verses, barely perceivable and disturbed by the dust of the voice fragments. The voice itself, at the end, is absorbed by the relentless rhythm which culminates in a powerful crescendo, the backbone of the track.

lyrics

l'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle. Paradiso, XXXIII, v. 145
rime d'amor usar dolci e leggiadre; Purgatorio, XXVI, v. 99
E una melodia dolce correva Purgatorio, XXIX, v. 22
come del sole stella mattutina. Paradiso, XXXII v. 108
tin tin sonando con sì dolce nota, Paradiso, X, v. 143
udire in voce mista al dolce suono. Purgatorio, IX, v. 141
che solo amore e luce ha per confine, Paradiso, XXVIII, v. 54
de' remi facemmo ali al folle volo, Inferno, XXVI, v. 125
E già la luna è sotto i nostri piedi: Inferno, XXIX, v. 10
