City of Dis created by Valerio Orlandini.
"I read Canti IX and X multiple times to try to feel what Dante was experiencing when he was there. The walls of the city are like a fire belt around a well-kept secret.
"They are rendered in the composition with the noisy and powerful sections at the beginning and at the end of the track, while in the centre mysterious lower sounds symbolise the sins and the feelings that each damned soul brought there forever. The listener should look for these contrasts, preferably while reading the corresponding part of Dante's masterpiece."
