Composer Notes:

This piece is organic. It was written improvisationally and should be performed as such. It is the intent of this piece to be first read in succession. Upon first completion the performer may disassemble the sections as they chose. They are lettered “a-k”. Duration is of no consequence. Tape looping of denoted sections is encouraged.

Or one could do as they please, like I said this piece is organic and who are we to stand in the way of nature?
