This composition is dedicated to the Italian poet, writer and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini, who died twenty years ago, killed under unclear circumstances, near the sea near Rome.
The piece is meant to represent a journey in four short movements. The reason for this journey is explained by the title, a word invented by Pasolini and used to name a late collection of poems ("Trasumanar e organizzar"). It means to transcend the human, to grab an object, a spiritual, or mental object, in order to bring it in contact with the material and confer it a form.
