can you hear me now...

"to all members of the eternal network in canadada
and the united states: greetings. sound. manluck.
womanluck. weatherluck. today after years of practicing
and reflecting upon the subject i propose to you all the
composing and performing of telepathic music to
compliment, butress, and - if need be - replace all
other marvelous loving correspondences. - day or night,
day and night, send waves of greetings sound
manluck womanluck weatherluck to members
of the eternal network all over the world. no proof of
reaching and benefitting is necessary - knowing oneself
expecting others to be a performer of telepathic day and
night music is sufficient.

your robert filliou"

intermission piece...

for one or more players

this piece is for performance during intermission at any concert situation. it is thought (or hoped) that a major portion of the audience in attendance will be outside the performing area - physically or conceptually - smoking, chatting, etc. naturally, there are always a few people who will stick around. those may realize that a performance is under way and decide to be an audience, or to be indifferent, or be curious enough to wander into the performance area. they'll probably ask questions, and they may even participate in the performance. still others, of course, will never know.

the performer(s) situates himself in the performance area. he sits or stands, as is his custom, and makes quiet sounds. the amplitude spectrum is never to exceed "barely audible". the performance ends at the end of the intermission period.
