Dedicated to John Silber
with thanks to the people and Queen of Denmark,
You don’t have to read this page.
S-tog is a constellation of possible artificial influences (on the musical thoughts
and organizing principles governing the product of a group free improvisation)
which is mapped onto a discrete durational scheme derived from one particular found
system—the Copenhagen metro system (which itself influences the thoughts and
organizational principles governing the product of another larger and ongoing group
improvisation).
The comprehensive energy schema which the group as a whole and single,
players create may or may not be congruent with a particular desired aesthetic; like
any journey within a prescribed universe the trip's validity is not altered by its
existence as a subset of or window into the total context. S-tog posits only that all
possible outcomes are elements of the human experience and that is good,
Rules:
2, Players may or may not take the same trip.
3. Players may or may not decide upon the same total durations.
5. Players may or may not reveal their itinerary to each other or to themselves before
play.
6. Timetables may or may not be transposed to allow the tips’ beginnings or
conclusions to coincide.
7. Stations may influence zero, one, or more parameters of musical
thought/organization.
J. Players do not need to be influenced by stations which they pass without stopping.
11, Players may or may not decide to play at and under the influence of a concluding
destination.
12. Players may tacet while awaiting a transfer.
16, Interpretations may or may not be dogmatic.
107. All rules can be altered in any way.
