For a four-string Wire Machine. Running time is either 28:20, 42:30 or 56:40, depending on how much time you have. The first three columns indicate times at which events happen, for each of the possible durations. The next 4 columns indicate what event happens on which string at each time. The last 4 columns indicate which strings are sounding (1) or quiet (0). Events are one of

  • u, for turning up the oscillator on a string to its max level,
  • *, for changing the frequency of the oscillator, or
  • d, for turning the oscillator down all the way.
So the piece begins and ends in silence.
