EYES GLAZED OVER PERFORMANCE
May 2010

for Gary Schultz

.

find a score you've performed, or would like to perform, that is very open to interpretation. perform it, or think of performing it, in a way that is complex, "meta", convoluted, wandering, etc, and then explain to someone your idea and rationale in a slightly vague manner. continue explaining until their eyes have glazed over, and you've lulled them into feeling more confused than when you started. at this point, don't try to backtrack, re-explain, or clarify - the piece is complete.

Variation
for G. Douglas Barrett

as above,
except trying to explain your composerly work and interests to someone  ...  until their eyes have glazed over
