Comments
One12 is part of “Without Notations,” works collected and edited by Andras Wilheim, apparently never published. The single-page holograph indicates that the performer prepare a score consisting of 640 random numbers between 1 and 12. For each number “1”, the performer speaks an “empty” (non-substantive) word; each “12” corresponds to a “full” word (noun, adjective, etc.). For numbers “2-11”, the performer produces a phonemic sound drawn from the word for the number, e.g. “t” or “too” for 2. The performance is improvisational.
