Program Notes
This composition is inspired by a Vice report discussing a Canadian company that provides sex-related therapy to individuals with physical disabilities. While I believe that such therapies can be useful, I found the report to be extremely one-sided in its view of the issue. Specifically, the report failed to discuss the idea that this company may be taking financial advantage of its vulnerable clients. The music, rondo-esque in form, is themed around the idea of manipulation.
