Pitch Map (any instrument or voice)	video	Pitch Map: general guidelines for improvisation (any instrument or voice) The electronic layer of the piece should be treated as the score, and this video serves as visual guidelines for practicing and rehearsing. There is no printed score in a traditional sense. The video should be used as help for musicians in the process of learning the piece and as guidelines for improvisation. It should be used as reference while navigating through the form of the piece and learning the sections. Each musician should "extract" their own part based on this suggested pitch material. There are some suggestions regarding articulation and dynamics, but not meant for any specific instrument. Anyone can play or sing.
