Vertical time: Sound and Vision

The concept of poetic time, experienced through poetry, music and figurative arts, has firstly been by Gaston Bachelard in the 1930s [1]. The subjective spectator' s sensation of time rupture and ecstasy has been defined as time rearrangement from a horizontal into a vertical structure, linking to eternity [2]. Although this particular perception of time has been described as triggered by spectator' s experience of sublime art forms, this paper finds earlier evidence of the phenomenon in Giacomo Leopardi' s poem ' L' infinito' (1819), as result of nature' s contemplation [3]. Analysis of the sound that induces the vision of vertical time in Leopardi' s poetry is performed by signal processing techniques. Relations between time, frequency and lag representations of the signal are established, finding correspondence of the signal' s power spectral density and time verticality in the lag domain [4].
