Note:
The title of the piece is taken from the last sentence of the novel “Watt” by Samuel Beckett (1953). The piece tries to signify Watt’s walk: “Watt’s way of advancing due east, for example, was to turn his bust as far as possible towards the north and at the same time to fling out his right leg as far as possible towards the south, and then to turn his bust as far as possible towards the south and at the same time to fling out his left leg as far as possible towards the north […] and so on, over and over again, many many times, until he reached his destination, and could sit down.”
