composed

The composer. The designer. The author. The commander. The speaker. Most of these scores are written as imperatives. Except

Six deep breaths......

I'm doing it anyway, three breaths in. Three more. Typographically its a nice one. Punctus. Punctus. Punctus. Punctus. Punctus. Punctus. Deep breaths, it's over......

You dont have to be a scientist to do experiments.

Jeffrey Lee Lewis. This isnt a rule or a score, but it's a nice reminder.

Each player divides himself into three [underlined:] equal parts. 

Not an imperative, but seems even more essential because of that.

All parameters and dimensions are equal and as one.

Everything. Three things. One thing.

Bodily contact. Exchange of instruments (goods, objects). Cleaning operations. Courtesy.

This list is more a space of possibilities than an instruction. A field that can be performed within, and therefore a useful score (map) for the performer.

The drum is without form. A simple extension of the soul.

This is similar to the one above but is also partly an unmapping. A score (or rules) as a way of erasing previous rules and assumptions. An amendment. So looking and mapping and defining are ways of creating narratives for the future that allow possibilities and suggest paths. Is looking an act of control? What is the difference between ordering as in arranging and ordering as in commanding?
