This is a typed page with black ink on white paper. The words are uneven, hand-set like a typewriter, and describe an art piece called "Ear Piece." The instructions say a performer uses everyday objects like paper or plastic on their ears, making sounds by rubbing or scratching. The text is informal, almost like a recipe for a performance. It even includes a warning for kids about ear damage. The whole thing feels like a mix of art and everyday life. If this interests you, check out Terry Riley.
