Are there sections? Consider transitions Turn it upside down Think of the radio Allow an easement (an easement is the abandonment of a stricture) Simple subtraction Be dirty Go slowly all the way round the outside A line has two sides Make an exhaustive list of everything you might do & do the last thing on the list Into the impossible Towards the insignificant Ask people to work against their better judgement Take away the elements in order of apparent non-importance Infinitesimal gradations Change instrument roles Accretion Disconnect from desire Emphasize repetitions Faced with a choice, do both (given by Dieter Rot) Children - speaking - singing Lost in useless territory A very small object. Its center Don't be afraid of things because they're easy to do Don't be frightened to display your talents Breathe more deeply Honor thy error as a hidden intention What are the sections sections of? Imagine a caterpillar moving Only one element of each kind Is there something missing? Use 'unqualified' people How would you have done it? Emphasize differences Do nothing for as long as possible Bridges - build - burn Give yourself credit for having more than personality You don't have to be ashamed of using your own ideas Tidy up Do the words need changing? Ask your body Tape your mouth Water Simply a matter of work Make a sudden, destructive unpredictable action; incorporate Consult other sources - promising - unpromising Use an unacceptable color Humanize something free of error Use filters Fill every beat with something Discard an axiom Not building a wall but making a brick What wouldn't you do? Lowest common denominator Decorate, decorate Balance the consistency principle with the inconsistency principle Get your neck massaged Listen to the quiet voice Do the washing up Is it finished? Put in earplugs Reevaluation (a warm feeling) Give the name away Intentions - nobility of - humility of - credibility of Abandon normal instruments Use fewer notes Repetition is a form of change Give way to your worst impulse Reverse Trust in the you of now Imagine the piece as a set of disconnected events What would your closest friend do? Distorting time Make a blank valuable by putting it in an exquisite frame Feed the recording back out of the medium Convert a melodic element into a rhythmic element The most important thing is the thing most easily forgotten Ghost echoes You can only make one dot at a time Just carry on (Organic) machinery The inconsistency principle Don't break the silence Idiot glee (?) Discover the recipes you are using and abandon them Cascades Courage! Spectrum analysis What mistakes did you make last time? Consider different fading systems Mute and continue Be extravagant It is quite possible (after all) What are you really thinking about just now? Don't stress on thing more than another [sic] State the problem in words as clearly as possible Assemble some of the elements in a group and treat the group You are an engineer Remove ambiguities and convert to specifics Look at the order in which you do things Go outside. Shut the door Disciplined self indulgence Do we need holes? Cluster analysis Always first steps Cut a vital connection Do something boring Define an area as 'safe' and use it as an anchor Is the information correct? Overtly resist change Question the heroic approach Accept advice Twist the spine Work at a different speed Look closely at the most embarrassing details & amplify them Mechanicalize something idiosyncratic Emphasize the flaws Remember those quiet evenings Take a break Short circuit (example: a man eating peas with the idea that they will improve his virility shovels them straight into his lap) Left channel, right channel, center channel Use an old idea Destroy - nothing - the most important thing Change nothing and continue with immaculate consistency The tape is now the music 10 Rules for Teachers and Students by Sister Corita Kent and John Cage ================== 1 Find a place you trust, and then try trusting it for a while. 2 General duties of a student: Pull everything out of your teacher; pull everything out of your fellow students. 3 General duties of a teacher: Pull everything out of your students. 4 Consider everything an experiment. 5 Be self-disciplined: this means finding someone wise or smart and choosing to follow them. To be disciplined is to follow in a good way. To be self-disciplined is to follow in a better way. 6 Nothing is a mistake. There’s no win and no fail, there’s only make. 7 The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It’s the people who do all of the work all of the time who eventually catch on to things. 8 Don’t try to create and analyze at the same time. They’re different processes. 9 Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It’s lighter than you think. 10 We’re breaking all the rules. Even our own rules. And how do we do that? By leaving plenty of room for X quantities.
