Program Note:<br />
<strong>Melancholia</strong>: A series of absurd manic-depressive delusions is a work whose aim is to enable the neurotypical to<br />
experience a depressive episode. To those not mentally ill, the experiences of a depressive episode are foreign.<br />
They have not experienced the radical and senseless yet sensible ramblings that the depressed subject is<br />
experiencing. This work creates a soundscape that allows the listener to experience these delusions. They will<br />
throw you around with careless direction, bringing forth a sense of madness, frustration, and deliriousness. Now<br />
you will know how we feel.
