Inspired by and named after a compositional technique laid out by Matteo Paggi the ensemble explores a musical ark spanning from enchanted, almost theatrical and stageplay suitable atmospheres infused by Jazz and raw, intense polyrhythms in the opening piece named "La Gente In Discoteca Nel Futura" to the carefully spiralling dynamic pulsings of "Dreaming Of Fossaverde", the dreamy and most beautiful Contemporary Classical meets longing Jazz arrangements of "Fossaverde" whereas the concluding, 14 minutes extending "Mountain" provides an entire, highly adventurous journey of its own including agitated chase and action scenes, carefully arranged minimalistic sequences as well as a dreamy, expertly layered melodic episodes just to name a few.
