This work is part of "The Ten Thousand Things" project. It is a graph work, wherein space is equal to time. It incorporates 5 earlier Cage works: 57 /2” for a String Player, 1' 5 1/2" for a String Player, 1' 1/2" for a String Player, 1' 18" for a String Player, and 1' 14" for a String Player. It may be performed with 27' 10.554" for a Percussionist, 31' 57.9864" for a Pianist, 34' 46.776" for a Pianist, and 45' for a Speaker, either as a solo or to form an ensemble piece for any combination of pianists, string players, percussionists, and speaker. The rhythmic structure is 3-7-2-5-11. The compositional means were chance operations and the use of imperfections found in the paper upon which the work was written.
