All percussionists need water for lowering the rin pitch. Percussion 3 also needs water for dipping the gong. Players 1 and 4 need a handkerchief for the harmonica playing.
Score is in C
Layout Piano and harp need to be positioned prominently, towards the front of the stage ideally near the accordion. Percussion 1-4 need to be set at the back across the stage left (perc. 1) to right (perc. 4).
Accordion
nl y
The explanation of the techniques and sounds used will be found in the solo part. Where gliss or quasi gliss is written and a true gliss is not possible, try to approximate by overlapping and cross-fading freely.
ru s
al o
From bar 638 onwards the right hand part should be thin, metallic and slightly distorted/detuned; this may be achieved by judicious use of the bellows, or a preparation of the keys/buttons in the previous rests.
pe
Piano
The pianist will need an e-bow, a small metal implement such as a kitchen skewer and a light metal chain laid across the bottom strings in bars 496-502. The chain may need to be fixed to the sidebar with tape.

Preparation:

At certain points the blu-tac needs to be lifted from the string to allow E-bow and harmonics to sound. It is then reapplied afterwards. This is easier to do if the Blu-tac is in separate pieces for the strings in question, which are: !

As far as possible use the harmonics specified. Where necessary (cf. in double basses at the beginning) gaps may be taken from the value of the note to allow time to move. The exception is bar 9, where the value can be taken from the FRONT of the note. Where 7th 11th or 13th harmonics are specified please use these for their microtonal properties. Violas and Cellos are each divided into two groups, front and back. Group one has the C string tuned down to B. Group two has normal tuning.

III. The Tiniest House of Time ! ! ! ! Are you looking for me? I am in the next seat. My shoulder is against yours. you will not find me in the stupas, not in Indian shrine rooms, nor in synagogues, nor in cathedrals: not in masses, nor kirtans, not in legs winding around your own neck, nor in eating nothing but vegetables. When you really look for me, you will see me instantly -you will find me in the tiniest house of time. Kabir says: Student, tell me, what is God? He is the breath inside the breath.
