Each participant chooses a sound to make during the piece. Always use the same sound throughout the piece. Sit in a large circle. … Stand just inside the circle of participants holding a small gong or hand bell. Begin the piece by striking the gong twice and then walking slowly around the circle. The next two times you pass the point from which you started, strike the gong once. When you arrive at the starting point again, strike the gong three times to end the piece. … First cycle—Alone: intend to sound separate from any other sound. Second cycle—Dialog: intend to sound immediately before or after another sound. Third cycle— Together: intend to sound along with another sound, sustaining your sound for a long time.

Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening, loc. 286
