With Della Notte, Macro/micro delivers a compelling downtempo composition that delicately balances emotional duality—warmth and detachment, hope and melancholy. As part of the V/M/m EP, the track represents a long-gestating collaboration with vocalist Veronika Coassolo, whose haunting, intimate delivery evokes a sense of vulnerability central to the song’s emotional weight.
The rhythmic structure of Della Notte unfolds with slow-burning intent. A restrained percussive framework grounds the track, subtly glitch-infused but never overwhelming. Its pacing feels suspended in time, leaving space for each element to breathe. This rhythmic minimalism is essential in drawing attention to the interplay between the sonic textures and vocal phrasing.
Synth work is precise and atmospheric—textural rather than melodic, evoking twilight moods and blurred memory. Layers of analogue warmth blend with more sterile digital elements, resulting in a soundscape that feels simultaneously close and distant. The synths ebb and flow like fog rolling through a quiet city street, carrying with them a gentle sense of emotional drift.
The overall atmosphere of the track is a study in contrasts. There’s a cinematic stillness, yet it’s charged with a quiet tension. The production is clean and deliberate, never indulgent, allowing the weight of silence and decay to resonate. Coassolo’s vocals shimmer like distant lights, guiding the listener through the track’s emotional terrain without ever offering resolution.
Della Notte is a standout track that encapsulates the ethos behind V/M/m—a sonic archive of past emotion rediscovered and recontextualized. Its introspective tone and meticulous construction reflect a high level of artistry, and we are proud to feature it in our webzine. This is music that listens back.
