Commissioned by the WDR and the International Composers in Los Angeles. The title is derived from an alternation of the letters H.C.E. (Here Comes Everybody) and mix. The tape is composed by cutting up the names of 151 countries particitpating in the Olympic games, into syllables and rearranging them, using chance operations. The tape also includes a compilation of national hyms of the countries.
