Program Notes
The title “dynatox delirium” reflects two aspects of the composition and its creation. “Dynatox” references the piece’s use of samples from the third Karate Kid movie, as this is the name of the company owned by the film’s main antagonist. “Delirium” refers to the fact that I wrote most of the piece during a period when I was very sick. The effects of both the illness and the treatments I was taking for it left me in something of a delirious state when writing the composition.
