Let’s ALL be composers!
Wednesday, 11 August 2010
JUST FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS:
[1] Declare your intention to create a ‘composition.’
[2] Start a piece at some time.
[3] Cause something to happen over a period of time (it doesn’t matter what happens in your ‘time hole’ – we have critics to tell us whether it’s any good or not, so we won’t worry about that part).
[4] End the piece at some time (or keep it going, telling the audience that it is a ‘work in progress’).
[5] Get a part time job so you can continue to do stuff like this.
