Irremediable Breakdown is a musical commentary about marriage annulment, composed with a narrative in mind about a lonely protagonist, waking to face a mundane existence and lamenting solitude.  An unexpected romance rapidly unfolds followed by a predictable breakdown, where partners seek no common ground and choose disparity.
