The ninth song is 'Impulses And Motivations' and it turned out exactly how I wanted it to. It's in two sections.  I wanted the first part to sound like, in Julio Cortázar's words, the daily "job of cleaving a passage through the glutinous mass that declares itself to be the world."  This is achieved with a recording that I made of the wind in a wood, put through filters, rising, sounding like a tube train, the backdrop to instruments played in a small, underground room.

Wind chimes usher in the second part, a dream sequence, the passing of cars and the sound of a flute and my monologue about free will. It occurred to me when we looked at Brownian motion at school. So many chemical reactions and interactions that, disappearing without a microscope, we explain the barely explainable with the invention of the fallacy of free will. No matter, whatever we call it, it doesn't change a thing.

I think it might be my favourite song on the record.

I am starting to ramble so, irrelevent, here's Patsy Cline:

I've uploaded 'Impulses and Motivations' to the music player.

Tomorrow it's 'The Logic of a Line.'
