[VIEW TEXT SCORE]

I haven't made a score for this but basically it's a title piece (an event score in the spirit of Yoko Ono) where any interpretation of the title could lead to a valid performance. So far, I've only done it by playing existing music (Bach or Stravinksy) with a balloon in my mouth, tucked under the strings so that my breath distorts the sound.
