For this iteration of the performance I used the visual language of a musical score along with a few other visual elements including music stands and microphones to cue the viewers and participants in on certain information: a) that they should make noise, and b) that like a musical score, they should follow these documents as instructions.
The linear graphics are communicative and reminiscent of a diagram from a manual or technically written instructional book. The familiarity of these types of images allows the viewer to easily read, interpret, participate, and understand even when minimal text is present.
Participants use the printed scores to create a live mixed breath composition.
