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.
Return here after music has played:
Navigator: Well that was a nice and relaxing session, I would listen to it again. Performer: Focus! We have to follow the flowchart. Navigator: Yeah but there are so many connections! Can't we just rest here for a while? Performer: Maybe if you are so tired we could redirect to the end of the show. Protocoller: Come on, give an outro to the Music Protocol. It's time to move onto the next section. Performer: The music section has reached its end. It is [TIME] at Radio Worm and this is the end of our broadcast.
