Track text is spoken by sono-poet Ilaria Boffa from her book Beginnings and Other Tragedies. Translated it says "Time does not pass, we pass through time in stages or blocks and we become. Spatially and temporally scattered we have experiences in other places inaccessible to us here and at other times unavailable to us now."  Also spoken:  "Clouds are moving fast. They're shifting perspective. Carry me with you"

Non è il tempo a passare (feat Ilaria Boffa)

Remixed material from "Darkening" and  "Flying": Electric guitar, voice, effect pedals, unsynchronized loops, two tube amps. Field recording: Thunderstorm at night. Percussion sample: Crashing dishes. Poem read by VSS. All sounds, voice, mixing and production: Velvet Something Superdark. Part of https://soundcloud.com/velvetsomethingsuperdark/sets/tempest

Text: "An awful tempest", Emily Dickinson (1830-1886): 

An awful tempest mashed the air,
The clouds were gaunt and few;
A black, as of a spectre's cloak,
Hid heaven and earth from view.

The creatures chuckled on the roofs
And whistled in the air,
And shook their fists and gashed their teeth,
And swung their frenzied hair.

The morning lit, the birds arose;
The monster's faded eyes
Turned slowly to his native coast,
And peace was Paradise.
