La Monte Young's 'Arabic Numeral (Any Integer)' (1960, aka 'X (to Henry Flynt)') might be described a cornerstone of experimental and minimalist music. The score consists of a single written instruction - to repeat a sound every 1 or 2 seconds as accurately as possible for a long time. Previously realised only as a solo performance, we are presenting the piece as a continuum of solo and ensemble interpretations, utilising double bass, found objects, clarinet, banjo, live video and other media, all performed by a diverse cross-section of Melbourne's experimental music community.
