Cage's comments:
"Some or all of one's obligation may be performed through ambient
circumstances (environmental changes) by simply noticing or
responding to them.  Some factors though not all of a given[event]
or succession of several may be planned in advance.  But leave room
for the use of unforseen eventualities."
"ANY OTHER ACTIVITIES ARE GOING ON AT THE SAME TIME"

Our suggestions:
Ignore any parameter not pertaining to your performance.  Devise
your own methods and scale for interpreting each variable in the
score.  Modulate this during the performance if you wish.
You can start anywhere in the score but must proceed downward,
starting at the top first event after the last bottom event.
"silence dur" is the duration to rest/wait before starting
the event.
 

another suggested Cage score:
0'00 - Solo to be performed in any way by anyone
(for Yoko Ono and Toshi Ichiyanagi- Tokyo, Oct 24, 1962)

In a situation provided with maximum amplification (no
feedback), perform a disciplined action.
    with any interruptions.
    fulfilling in whole or part an obligation to others.
    no two performances to be of the same action, nor may
        that action be the performance of a
        "musical" composition
    no attention to be given the situation (electronic,
    musical, theatrical).
    a performance of this piece was writing this email.

this is 4'33' (No. 2) an also pt. 3 of a work which Atlas Eclipticalis pt. 1.

our note: pt. 2 is VARIATIONS IV, which will be occuring
 performed during the evening as well)
