Imagine yourselves that immensely beautiful second track off off Basinski's Melancholia stretched out to almost forty-five minutes long and you've got Pantelleria. Once again, Basinski uses a soft piano loop which was recorded over twenty years ago, audio defaults and all, and reworks it today with incredible depth and feeling into a majestic soundscape. There's a bizarre drop in sound heard in the loop which Basinski then layers and passes through a delay at certain moments in the composition creating a atmospheric chugging effect, like a train far away in the distance. When this sound suddenly shifts back to the original loop, there is a wonderful feeling of release, as if a tension had been built. The overall mood of the work is much more pastoral and peaceful than the aforementioned track on Melancholia, much quieter as well (you'll probable need to increase the volume).
