He scored R I N G, a plaintive, murmuring piece for flute, lute and guitar, not with notes but with a diagram of a circle containing directional signals for time, dynamics and pitch. In Corona for Strings, he achieved wispy as well as grating effects by directing the instrumentalists to improvise on the basis of colored plastic disks superimposed on their parts (yellow for soft, blue for loud...

Pumping on Signal. Surgeons injected a local anesthetic into the patient's thigh and cut into the femoral artery. They then threaded a flexible plastic tube up the artery and the aorta until a deflated balloon at its end was about level with the heart (see diagram). The outside end of the tube led to an electrically operated pump filled with nonflammable, nonexplosive helium. The patient was connected to an electrocardiograph, whose signals could control the pump...
