The 31/32 Fatality

0:00:00
0:04:58

Naeglariasis, also known as primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), is a highly fatal infection by the very rare, albeit ruthless, Naegleria fowleri—a shape-shifting amoeboflagellate excavate, that once absorbed, usually via the nose, moves to the central nervous system of the brain and kills their hosts by feeding on the nerve tissue, causing their host to suffer symptoms such as headache, fever, nausea, vomiting, a stiff neck, confusion, hallucinations and seizures. The symptoms usually begin one to twelve days after exposure and progress rapidly during the first five days, usually resulting in death after one or two weeks of symptoms.

In its typical amoeba-like state, the Naegleria fowleri is usually found in warm bodies of fresh water, such as ponds, lakes, rivers and hot springs. A shape-shifted version of the organism can also be found in moist and unsanitary areas, such as soil, poorly maintained water supplies, near warm-water discharges of industrial plants and in poorly chlorinated or unchlorinated swimming pools.

Even though infection is very rare, once infected your chances of survival are slim at best. Only about 3 percent survive, consequently giving Naegleriasis a fatality rate of approximately 31/32.

Enjoy! :)

      Thanks Jordi! Don't try to analyze the time signatures too much. :P Even though it's written in 31/32, the intense tempo automations pretty much ruin any impression of periodicity and is rather used as a creative tool for controlling the rate of the 808 rim/claves, sometimes venturing into the audible frequency range to create kind of a creepy ambivalence of whether it's a rhythm or a drone symbolizing the psychotic symptoms of Naeglariasis and the shape shifting nature of Naegleria fowleri.
