"Kismet's Posterity"

This song is part three of "Bellow Inferno." During the first movement, you hear a train braking in the underground (granted this aforementioned track is generously treated with effects). One of the reasons why I decided to include this is to simulate PTSD and because of a comedian named Doug Smith who heroically halted a rape from happening in a New York City tube. The protagonist/survivor from "Bellow Inferno" was violated in a metropolis similar in size to that of the Big Apple. This is why, accompanied with the strident sounds of the subway, you hear a jackhammer (a common sound found in a bustling city which subsequently serves as a phallus). The persistent penetration provided by the jackhammer causes her to have petrifying flashbacks which, subsequently, trigger a panic attack. During the transition from the second to the third movement, there is a Native American chant. This was tacked on because Indigenous women are up to ten times more likely to be sexually assaulted than any other group. Also, during this crescendo, I added a fire crackling (for obvious reasons) and a group of people shouting "surprise" (this latter sound is saturated with effects). This was introduced to the mix when I randomly recalled a reprehensible "rib-splitter" I overheard at work. This former colleague of mine commented, "it's technically not rape if you yell surprise." He guffawed whilst I stared at him incredulously. In the third movement, I opted to make an allusion to the film Kimi. In this movie, the protagonist suffers from agoraphobia due to having been recently violated in a prurient manner. Ergo, I amassed a ton of tracks featuring noises from urban environments which, when compiled all together, ended up sounding like a washing machine possessed by an aggregation of woebegone ghosts. At the conclusion of this section, you can discern someone rolling the dice. This is a metaphor for how the perpetrator was not wearing a sheath thus making the transmission of an infection plausible. Now, for the final movement, I wanted to address the next stage of her life. I inserted ocean waves gently crashing on the seashore to symbolize that the recovery process from this accursed experience is going to be anything but a day at the beach. As for the title of this tune, it is a tribute to Destiny's Child and their hit song "Survivor."
