1. place foot on piano pedal.2. starting from the lowest note (A), play every 11th key,

letting the sound ring ad lib between notes.

you are now forming empty space and points of light.

3. release the pedal.

4. starting with the lowest black key (A#), place foot on piano pedal again, and play every 4th note until the end of the board.

5. start again, with the second lowest black key (C#), and repeating the same process, play every 4th note until the end of the board.

6. repeat step four with the third lowest (D#) and then the fourth (F#).

you are now forming four, perfect pillars of sound.

faces

8. with pedal still held, play the middle key of the piano (E) six times until the dissonance blurs into a solitary pitch.

you are now creating six flat fields of pure,

space

high & low horizons

9. in contrary motion starting from E, use both hands to play every fourth key in opposite directions.

10. once hands are at both ends of the piano, play backwards until it finally comes to rest, again, at E.

you are now orbiting the horizontal peripheries of a single, floating cube.

11. hold the pedal, until sound slowly fades into nothing.

12. release the pedal.

(re-construction / healing)

and the box put itself back together again

in a dark room, let all empty space become points of light.choose a x-coordinate. choose a y-coordinate. choose any beginning: x, y, z.

connect two points together. then five, twelve, thirty-six eighty-eight and let that form a beam.

once you have many beams, many beams (that cometogether — you must imagine, for they will, that they come

together in space, of their own accord.)

lie parallel to the ground, where there is no horizon

and watch it all happen.
