We took it to heart and incorporated instructional cues closest to our library scope, just like these 5 random examples:
- Count to 100, quickly, some numbers in your head, some aloud
- Solve: 2+2
- Estimate how many blades of grass plus grains of sand there are in the world right now. Say this number in words, very slowly
- Sign the highest note you can think of then think about the lowest note -but do not sing it
- [C]ough, cough, have an idea, ask a question
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).
