thank you Reed! i'd forgotten about this one!! ahem! one of the problems of never really showing my work (the web is the only place people get to see what i do), is that i make/write it and then basically "file" it. the fruitscores thing was a big step, fortunately the response has been positive so far. anyway that's not really the point.... (you're rambling alan!) the point is......... CRESCENDO choose a specific time of day or night at exactly the same time every day perform the following day one - turn on one electrical appliance (including audio-visual) day two - turn on another appliance day three - turn on another etc. etc. carry on until you reach a point where everything is turned on from this point all items with alterable volume controls should, on each successive day, be turned up by one when everything is turned on and all volumes are at maximum - reverse the above process the event ends when all appliances are again turned off crescendo(c)alan bowman 1999-12-14. this text may be downloaded, copied, reproduced as you choose, on the condition that alan bowman receives due and proper recognition as author, and that, where/when appropriate any documentation of the performance of this piece and/or altered version of the text is forwarded to the author.
