Below were instructions given out to percussion performers before the show

Description
We will be performing an improvised “space” using bass, drums, percussion and electronic means in quadraphonic sound. The four percussionists will be positioned between each set of speakers looking inward. The rest of the ensemble will be in the center of the “quadra”.

Duration
We will be playing continuously for about 30 minutes give or take depending on how things feel and/or get close running out of time

Instructions
Percussionist will start after intro, about 5-10 minutes.
I will use hand gestures to prepare what will be played
I will play example for everyone to follow along
I will use facial expressions to signal when to follow

Guidelines / Thoughts

* Less is more…
* Until it is not…
* Imagine a tide
* Go straight
* Be patient

* Have fun!

Hand Signals / Gestures / actions

* Ready to stop
* Stop

* Less Density

Note: percussionists were not captured in this recording. You'll have to imagine that part yourselves!
