Delusions explores universal negative emotions amid rising stress levels from academics, work, lifestyle etc. In Singapore, 1 in 3 youth faces mental health issues, and I wanted to spread awareness about the importance of mental health. I was also going through a very difficult time last year (2023), where certain life events left me being emotionally unstable and traumatised, further compelling me to write this piece. Delusions features 4 sonic materials —Helplessness, Annoyance, Melancholy, Delusion, derived from one pitch set, reflecting diverse feelings. Helplessness conveys the sighs I made, Annoyance stacks various timbres playing irritatingly similar and repetitive lines, Melancholy reiterates lamenting melodies, reflecting the emo songs I looped in my playlist, and Delusion reflects mental instability with rhythmic complexities. I hope that this piece constantly keeps you at the edge of your seat.
