Yes! Made this piece of loveliness in under two hours.
1. On 25 scraps of paper, wrote A, B, C, D, or E, plus a number between 1 and 33.
2. Picked five instruments (cello, tiny recorder, dumbek, shaker egg, mini-dumbek/cowbell) and assigned the letters to them in that order.
3. Randomly picked paper scraps and put them in five sets of five; played each phrase, with letter indicating instrument and number=number of events.
And it was so worth it. right? Organization is hard work, but is randomness of interest to anyone?
The second half is better than the first half. I generally don't like randomness in music, but this isn't too bad. (Definitely better than some Cage pieces I've heard.)
