 INSTRUCTIONS

There are ten parts, one to a page. A performance can be made of any number of them, repeacingnone, or of any one, repeatedno more than
t e n tim e s.
Each part, or page, js a score, and each player should hâve his copy of ir.
Play all that 16 notated on â pâge, in any convenientsequence, not repeating anything; except in lX, where any of the events can be playeo or
onlitted any number of dmes.
Black notes are variously short, up to about one second. Wlth $ems as sixteenth notes (e.g, in III, etc.) they are very short, \\hite nores
are of any length, sometimes determined by the requirements of coordinatjon (see further on),
A dynamic irrdication may stand by itself (as at left top of I): assume a note to go with it or apply ir to any note given on t;e page. Hôwever,
> or <: , standing by tlremselves, should always be applied to a note (any one) already given.
Ad ia g o n a llin e to wa r Csa n o te = p la ytl atnotedi rectl yafteraprecedi ngone. A di agonal l i neaw ayfromanote = tl atnotenus tbefol l ow ed
directly lry another,
A vcrtical line dow from a note = play simultaneously witi the next sound (both attack and release).
A small number at the end of a ]ine (e,g. at left top of l) = coordinate with the second (if the numbet is 2; third, if 3; etc,) sound, preccdj,ng
(if dlaSonal line towârds note), tollowlng aJter one has begu$ one's note (if diagoaal line away Jrom it), or play simultaneously wiùl the second
next sound (if the line is vertical).
If a line to a note is brolen by a number followed, after a colon, by a zero (-2.0-) (e,g, top middle of IIt), tlrat number of seconds of
silence interverle before the required coordination.
An fi at the end of a line (e.g. m-tddleteft in I) = coordinati.onmust be with a soud made by another player. .lf only one person is playing,
he must coordinate eitler with a soundhe hears in the environment or wità a soundhe has himself made uninændonallv.

I = play after a previous sound has begun, hold rill ir stops,

I

;" = start anylime, hold till another sound stârts, finish q.ith it,

?I = start at the same time (or as soon as you are aware of it) as the next sound, but stop before it does,

ooo = start anytlme,

"l- hold tiU anotler sound starts, continue holding anytime afr€r tha[ sound has stopped,

Horlzontal lines ioining two notes = a legato from tie one to ûre other (both plâyed by the eame person).
If no line leêds to a note or drops venically from it, one can stalt to play at ary time. If no line leads away from a white note, it can last
as long or as short as you like,
One' two' or three people can play. If one plays alone, he must realize al! "open" coordinations (Unes with notes at only one end) himself,

a disposirion of it whlch will ensure that all the required coordi.nations cân be menaged.) All th€ material on a page can be freely superimposed,
so long aE t}le requirements of coordinâtion are met,
If two or tiree play, tfte material on a page should be dtstributed between them, in any way (in VII a distribution for two players is indicâted);
bu! no materiâl mârked off for one player should be played by another (note: tiis holds for IX too). Coordinarion, then, for each player can be

Players can use any ways of making sounds, allowing for the following specifications:
Some notes are on staves: plây the lndicated pltch (readjng either bass or freble clef; sound at pitch; if pitch not available in range, transpose
at least two octâves; short lines off a pitch at an angle = fraction of a tone less than half up where Line angles up, dom where doun).
