Here's the second movement: "Everything Changes". This one depicts a technological, post-singularity future. I'd especially like feedback on the synthesized voices (created with Alter/Ego), since I've never tried to do anything like that before.

The words consist of three passages from Ovid's "Metamorphoses". It begins with the invocation to the gods at the start of the book. Next is a prophecy given to the infant Asclepius, who is destined to become the god of medicine. I interpret it more broadly as referring to medicine in general, and by extension, technology. The final section is a prophecy given to Aeneas about the founding of Rome. Again I interpret it more broadly as referring to the glorious coming world "quanta nec est nec erit nec visa prioribus annis" (greater than which none is, or will be, or has been in past ages).
