Sound Piece

For Charles Boone and his SF Art Institute Class

In this piece a sound could come from any sort of sound source. The sound could be shorter or longer, softer or louder, simple or complex but not identifiable as a fragment or phrase of music (from a radio or recording for example). Each sound used should have it's own character. Sounds that are difficult to identify might be more interesting. Sounds that come from unusual sources, methods of activation or locations might have more interest. The sound sources might be visually interesting (or not) and could be staged to enliven the performance space in an interesting audio as well as visual and dramatic design. Sounds could be local or distant with stationary or moving sound sources. Each person prepares a number of sounds to present within a pre determined duration (i.e. 10 minutes or longer). Each person may have as many or few sound sources as they want. Each person devises their own time scheme and staging for their sounds within the given duration. The piece begins with the first sound and ends when the time is up.
