Even though Sonic Meditations are in print, I often vary or revise the wording I use to transmit the instructions in new situations. My instructions are intended to start an attentional process within a participant and among a group which can deepen gradually with repeated experi-ence. Three Strategic Options - Listen together. When you are ready to begin choose an option. Return to listening before choosing an-other option.
Options are to be freely chosen throughout the duration of the piece.
The piece ends when all return to listening together. Sound with another per-former. If performing as a soloist substitute sound from the environment for another performer. In order to perform Three Strategic Options all players have to listen to one another. Attention shifts with each option.
