All of us make odd decisions, or arrive at false beliefs, while believing ourselves to be “perfectly logical.” This piece similarly follows its own logical structural journey, but travels a bit too far and lands in the “wrong” place. This process may or may not be evident to the listener, just as our own motivated reasoning is sometimes perceptible to us, and sometimes not. Perfectly Logical was composed for and is dedicated to Rachael Elliott, and it was commissioned by the IDRS.
