| The solo Sho part is the work One9. There are 10 pieces
of different and flexible lengths. All of them have flexible time-brackets for the Sho part and fixed
time-brackets for the
Conch-shell part. The shells contain water and by tipping them they might produce audible bubbles.
The Conch-shell
part contains 10 time-brackets, one for each piece, with a number (referring to one of the shells) and a
superscript
(giving the intended number of bubbles to be produced). Either three parts of One9 with or without Two3 may be played with 108. Sources: Thanks to Glenn Freeman for additional information |
