These opems are instruments and should be treated as such and they are scores and, again, should be engaged as such. Use silents and sound. Play. Orchestrate. Duration is variable. This work was displayed in the Gallery's exhibition entitled, Object Poems (2011). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
