The Performer is to birth a single sustained note. This note may die away quickly; the performer may choose to clone the note until its collective lifespan is appropriate.
When the Performer feels that it is suitable to birth additional notes, he or she may do so.
As one note finds its place in the universe, a second should come along to accompany it, and a third, fourth and fifth. All encompassing notes should desire to bleed across each other, in a wanton fashion. Thus is created the Chorus.
The chorus shall continue until it is out of breath, at which point, Silence shall creep in. If the Chorus so desires, it may interject into the Silence, but for increassingly short intervals, as the deafening Silence shall eventually conquer all.
