Fingers could be moist *8 the dotted squares mean silent scenic actions. Should be interpreted as an theatrical gesture, from the given musical action, in a very exaggerated manner and strictly without any sound production

This piece is about migration of energies from one realm to another.

The notion of transducer allows to transform a text material into its different outputs. Of course this processes are inherent with political power exercises Performance of the piece Before the performance of the piece, and before audience comes in, an announcement must be made: Only people with a non-US passport is allowed to enter.

After the piece ends, all people should come in.

The announcement should be made by the staff of the venue.

Signs of specific techniques on sound production are expained on score, in each case. Different lines serve to prolong the sound or gesture over time.

The used text is provided on the score. The reading of it, should always begin in a different part and every percussionist should choose a different starting point.

If the percussionist ends reading, he/she should repeat the process.

Vibraphone is prepared. Big pieces of foil must be placed loose over the keys to achieve a white-noised colored sound material each time one key is hit.

The ideal printing size for this score is 56.9 x 44 cm. (4 letter size or 2 tabloid size)

When precise rhythmic patterns are required, quarter will be always equals 60 bmp.

The other way is proportional to the context and placement of the sounds.

When precise synchronization is required, it will be pointed with a vertical arrow.
