This is a sheet of paper covered in typed and handwritten instructions. The words are in short paragraphs, some crossed out or underlined. Dates like "1962.1" and "1964.1" appear next to different ideas. There’s also a note about a "diagram for this piece" at the bottom. The text describes odd, playful music ideas—like covering a clock’s glass with paper or performing multiple composers at once. It’s less about drawing and more about rules for sound. Next, check out Yasunao Tone to see how these instructions turned into real performances.
