This page is covered in messy handwritten notes and typed words. The ink is black and gray, with some phrases underlined or circled. Words like *"piano," "silence,"* and *"shades of black"* repeat in different sizes. The paper looks crumpled, as if scribbled fast. The instructions seem to describe how to turn printed marks into sounds—like music made from ink. The artist treated the page like a score, not just a picture.
