Falsifiers created by Richard Watts.
""In the tenth and final bolgia are punished those who are falsifiers of various kinds. These sinners are punished with various illnesses. This is as it should be, for sin is a kind of illness or disease.
"Dante saw two sinners, each leaning against the other’s back. They were scratching themselves, trying to kill a never-ending itch. Their skin was covered with scabs, and as they scratched the scabs collected under their fingernails.
"The piece has lots distorted sounds representing disease and screams representing the suffering. I used samples of me mumbling and screaming and then processed them in Logic."
