La sourde semi-imrpovisée I is a short never ending chance and indeterminate composition.

Chance because every “cases” were colored completely randomly. Indeterminate because it “has the ability to be performed in substantially different ways” given its unconventional type of notation.

Freedom is given to the performer for the interpretation of the notations but the written dynamics must be respected. Although, the more the "loop" is played the more freedom can be taken by the performer until it becomes completely improvised (dynamics included).

Here is an excerpt of one way to play it. The performance was recorded a first time then played through the speaker. The sound of the recording was then captured by a lo-fi dynamic microphone plugged into a vocal processor (can’t remember what effects though). + a field recording of works somewhere between Greenwich and the O2.
