Play transition jingle: move_2.mp3

Play background Music: background_static.mp3

Protocoller: Initiate music protocol.

Performer: Music is vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion.  The music we will be playing today is all about composing and annotating music.
Annotating music can be seen as a 'performative' protocol, providing musicians and performers with notes on how to play and interpret a musical piece. These protocols of annotation give the instrumentalists a guide for experimentation and execution.
Protocoller: Roll a 2 sided dice to determine the origin of the music. 

Protocoller: Announce the outcome of the diceroll.

If Dice rolls 1:

Performer: We rolled a 1!
Protocoller: Pull the Scratch Orchestra from our archive.

If Dice rolls 2:

Performer: We rolled a 2!
Protocoller: Pull Cybernetic Serendipity from our archive.
