Perdition

semantics / expression

A semantic effect that might also be called the "dereliction" or "loss." This effect is linked to a feeling of perdition, in the double sense, of a soul in distress and the dissipation of a sound motif. The sound seems to be emitted for nothing, for everyone to hear but requiring no answer. It is a sound without destination, absurd in the etymological sense; its entire expression is simply a sign of powerlessness. Often characteristic of extreme suffering constituted principally of tears and moans, this effect accompanies life situations that are violent or painful.
