One hour, one placed tone

Each performance is one hour long with a single tone placed within the hour (a subset of my recital series)

A single tone placed within an hour, which is a scaled-down replica of the duration of the hour of the performance within the day of the performance. June 19, 2025, 3:00pm - 4:00pm House concert, San Diego

A single tone placed within an hour, which is a scaled-down replica of the duration of the day of the performance within the year of the performance. June 17, 2025, 3:00pm - 4:00pm House concert, San Diego

One million vibrations III: 277 7/9 Hz sustained for 60'00" June 16, 2025, 3:00pm - 4:00pm House concert, San Diego

A speculative work based on a fragment of Ancient Greek music that contains only one note. Catagorized by Pöhlmann & West as Fragment 52 of entry no. 6 in their book "Documents Of Ancient Greek Music" (PAP. ASHM. INV. 89B/29-32, Third-second century BC) I will imagine an hour-long piece that this note could have been a part of, playing out loud only the single written note June 13, 2025, 3:00pm - 4:00pm House concert, San Diego

A series of three durations: silence, tone, silence; filling an hour, that form a Pythagorean Triple, randomly chosen just before the performance, in a random order June 12, 2025, 3:00pm - 4:00pm House concert, San Diego

A series of three durations: silence, tone, silence; filling an hour, that have a superparticular ratio, randomly chosen just before the performance, in the order shortest to longest June 11, 2025, 3:00pm - 4:00pm House concert, San Diego

A tone begins when the minute and hour hands of a clock are at a 90-degree angle, and the tone ends when the minute and hour hands are again at a 90-degree angle. Based on a concept by Dan Ruccia June 6, 2025, 3:00pm - 4:00pm House concert, San Diego

For 3600 seconds, a tone on second N if N has exactly 11 divisors June 4, 2025, 3:00pm - 4:00pm House concert, San Diego

I will roll a 20-sided die and sustain a tone for the first (1/result) of an hour. June 2, 2025, 6:00pm - 7:00pm House concert, San Diego

I asked two friends to send me a postcard with a number between 1 and 3600. Counting seconds, I will play a tone beginning on the smaller-numbered second and ending on the larger-numbered second. June 1, 2025, 3:00pm - 4:00pm House concert, San Diego

The day before the performance (midnight to midnight) mapped proportionally onto an hour: a tone begins at sunrise and ends at sunset. May 31, 2025, 3:00pm - 4:00pm House concert, San Diego

The day before the performance (midnight to midnight) mapped proportionally onto an hour: a tone begins when I awoke and ends when I fell asleep. May 30, 2025, 3:00pm - 4:00pm House concert, San Diego

For the hour-long performance, a tone and then silence. The tone being proportional in length to the duration of life lived, and the silence being proportional in length to life yet to come, based on my statistical life expectancy.

Four timepoints (the beginning of the performance, the beginning of a tone, the end of a tone, and the end of the performance) that create the structure of a perfect and optimal Golomb ruler of order 4 May 27, 2025, 3:00pm - 4:00pm House concert, San Diego

I will listen to Furtwangler's Berlin recording of Bruckner 7 on headphones and play a tone in temporal unison with the single cymbal note percussion part May 26, 2025, 3:00pm - 4:00pm House concert, San Diego

Without using a clock, I will attempt to play a 1-minute tone exactly halfway through the hour May 25, 2025, 3:00pm - 4:00pm House concert, San Diego

A tone connecting two timepoints in the hour-long performance. One timepoint is derived from from dividing the day into 1000 equal parts, and the other timepoint is derived from dividing the hour of the performance into 1000 equal parts. I will play a tone connecting the two moments when proportions of equal number from both divisions come closest to each other in time. (for example, perhaps the 689th divisions of both timeframes are closest in time) May 24, 2025, 3:00pm - 4:00pm House concert, San Diego

A tone at the end of an hour, with a duration that has the same proportion to the hour as the day of the performance has to my life's duration so far December 21, 2020, 3:00pm - 4:00pm House concert, San Diego
