It Could Be Very Substantially Damaging

Liner Notes

The short audio clip throughout this piece is the last audio recording I made on my old phone, my Nexus 4 before I completely destroyed it (by smashing it repeatedly out of boredom).

The TV was on in the living room, and some kind of documentary/news report was playing in the background. I had already cracked the phone screen by this point. The clip was recorded on the 22nd of October 2023.

To expand this into a full track, I used virtual instruments on Mixcraft 8. For the synth vocals I used the Alter/Ego plugin set to the "Bones" voice.

Lyrics

It could be very substantially damaging.

It could be very substantially damaging.
It could be very substantially damaging.

This structure can be damaged
The cost of restoring it
Could exceed the market value
Could surely take the hit

Repairs cost more than what it's worth
Situation could be hell on earth
Who knows what the storm will bring?
It could be very substantially damaging.

The harm is large in size
Places smoke and lay in ruin
One by one an anguished hero dies
Ravaging storm has been brewing

Repairs cost more than what it's worth
Situation could be hell on earth
Who knows what the storm will bring?
It could be very substantially damaging.

It could be very substantially damaging.
It could be very substantially damaging.
It could be very substantially damaging.
It could be very substantially damaging.

Off kilter and more than a little bit creepy. I like it! The vocaloid lyrics and the title remind me of the libretto written by Christopher Knowles which Glass and Wilson used for "Einstein on the Beach."
