[Global Vocal Horror: one adult male source splits into a dry human lead, subharmonic throat body, piercing upper-register splinters, reversed consonants and pitchless breath copies] [Layer Behavior: copies collide without harmony, invade words, swallow syllables, replace the source mid-phoneme and move from distant walls to inside the listener's head] [Opening Event: close male noise-band vocoder, flat low pitch, left-ear inhale, late identical copy steals the final syllable] sometimes when the me is breaking i will (hh... hh... ah) [Clinical Statement I: dry two-pitch speech, isolated mouth clicks, reverse inhale enters before line four] it happened like i imagined only muffled at first i never thought it would i was expecting worse (oh... oh-ho... oh...) [Centre voice disappears, low copy speaks from far right one beat late] sometimes when it isn't i will [Pressure Recitation I: uppercase at conversational volume, one low pitch, head-voice hard-edit inside words, quarter-tone copies, one short sub impact] IT'S JUST LIKE THEY ALL SAY there's nothing to be afraid it happened like i imagined it happened anyway (aa-ii... aa-ii...) [Fixed-Pitch Recitation I: each line spoken on one unresolved pitch, low copy starts early, hard silence removes final consonants] IT'S JUST LIKE THEY ALL SAY there's nothing to be afraid i never thought it would and here we are (hh-ah... hh-ah...) [Laughter Rupture: dry human onset, copies run at incompatible speeds] ah-ah-ah [Opposed low copies strike WHAT, thin head-voice fragment finishes the question, instant cut] WHAT DO I HAVE LEFT TO LOSE? (oh... oh-ho... oh-i...) ahahahah [Reverse laughter condenses into one inhale] [Full-spectrum silence, one beat too long] [Clinical Statement II: damaged vocoder one octave higher, flat speech, low copy replaces isolated words] i thought i would feel different i felt the way i do i thought i would remember [THAT divides into three detuned copies moving at different speeds] i remember thinking that (th-a-a-at...) [Low and high speech registers alternate without transition] sometimes when the me is breaking i will (hh... ah...) sometimes when it isn't i will [Pressure Recitation II: reverse inhale before each line, one fixed pitch, speaker replaced inside vowels, centre position intermittently vacant] IT'S JUST LIKE THEY ALL SAY there's nothing to be afraid it happened like i imagined it happened anyway [Fixed-Pitch Recitation II: flat one-note voice, low copy steals line openings, quarter-tone copies crowd centre, abrupt erasure] IT'S JUST LIKE THEY ALL SAY there's nothing to be afraid i never thought it would and here we are [Laughter Rupture: detached breaths orbit centre, laughter loses shared timing] ah-ah-ah [Paired low copies burst on LEFT, question remains emotionally blank, LOSE lands too close] HAVE I ANYTHING LEFT TO LOSE? (oh... oh-ho... oh-i...) ahahahah [Procedure: free-time clinical speech, miscounted clock, detached breaths, short reverse-sine impacts, bowed-guitar scrape cut instantly] in unison (oh... oh-ho... oh...) all of a sudden my mind is frozen i lie on the bed another body left open waiting for the next to be chosen [CHOSEN divides between high and low vocoders at mismatched durations] [Centre lead stays silent, dry far-right copy speaks while three low copies appear against the left wall] eyes open toward the wall (who sees you?) [Male centre voice returns emotionally blank] a familiar face you almost recall [One empty beat, inhale directly behind] [Terminal Recitation: uppercase remains conversational, one-note speech, register replaced inside words, copies multiply at incompatible speeds] IT'S JUST LIKE THEY ALL SAY there's nothing to be afraid i never thought it would and here we are [Breaths accelerate independently of the pulse] IT'S JUST LIKE THEY ALL SAY there's nothing to be afraid i thought i would remember i remember thinking that [All copies crowd the centre, noise-band carrier overload] ah-ah-ah [Calm low vocoder, fixed pitch, word spacing slightly wrong] WHAT DO I HAVE LEFT TO LOSE? [Piercing head-voice fragment, fixed pitch, tracker spasms at consonants] WHAT DO I HAVE LEFT TO LOSE? [Opposed low copies speak from left and right in exact unison, cut after LOSE] WHAT DO I HAVE LEFT TO LOSE? [Laugh copies desynchronize and stop at different moments] ahahahah [Everything disappears except one dry breath] sometimes when the me is breaking [Three vocoder registers enter on different syllables] i will [Opposed low copies erupt beneath a piercing fixed-pitch fracture] I WILL (I-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i) [Lead deleted mid-syllable, empty carrier continues briefly, sub stops late, total silence]
