We took it to heart and incorporated instructional cues closest to our library scope, just like these 5 random examples:
- Sing with a vibrancy that makes the music sound every bit as surprising and exciting as it would have done half a millennium ago
- State your name, sex, occupation and age in as regimented a voice as you can manage
- Recite a line of a poem, very quickly
- Mime a line from a song
- Scream in the style of Beethoven, scream in the style of Macy Gray
There are quite a lot of cues in total, giving performers of random scores plenty of opportunity to cough (seemingly one of Matthew's favourite sound effects).
Most of the linked collection is experimental, often seemingly based on regular expressions. As for instructional scores Matthew works frequently with simple poetic Fluxus-style events. Not focused on "establishing a system of interaction" like most of our library games. Activities that consist of a few cues working together are on the full list of playable items (and also listed below).
