The pieces If-Then VIII and IX (see the closing section [in the original]) adress participants’ critical awareness whether the music process is interesting or not! This is, after all, what everything is about. Different opinions may exist, but that does not make it less meaningful to have a clear perception of it and to act responsively. These pieces take the attention to an oscillating process between listening to what is out there and paying attention to one’s own impulses and imagination. Action must then follow. You can pick that one of the two that fits best or take one after another to repeat the effort from a slightly different angle.
