Textual annotation phrases act as semantic prompts that may optionally be linked to directories of performer-generated recordings. These annotations can function as text-only cues or as executable triggers for recording and playback, allowing language and sound to operate independently or in combination within the same notational framework.

...when the signal broke up
...while tuning the radio
...on the evening news
...between stations
...before the voice returned
...when I imagine war ...when I imagine grief ...when I imagine celebration ...when I imagine loss ...when I imagine relief
...when I imagine a crowd ...when I imagine being alone ...when I imagine danger nearby ...when I imagine safety returning
...when I imagine something ending ...when I imagine something beginning ...when I imagine waiting ...when I imagine being interrupted
...when I imagine noise ...when I imagine silence ...when I imagine listening from far away ...when I imagine listening too closely
...while I sat quietly
...when I stopped moving
...when I tried not to listen
...after everything else faded
...when the room settled
...when someone was nearby
...when it wasn’t meant for me
...when you stopped speaking
...while waiting for a reply
...when I listened to your body
...in the playground
...in the next room
...from the street below
...far from home
...in a place I no longer recognise
...with my head out the car window
...while the road passed underneath
...on the way somewhere
...before we arrived
...as everything sped up
...but later doubted
...and wasn’t sure again
...once, then never again
...after it had already stopped
...that didn’t belong there
...while holding my breath
...inside the sound
...when I listened too closely
...when everything felt louder
...just before I moved
...when you whispered in my ear
...when I listened to the fermentation
...when the bubbles slowed down
...when the lid clicked back into place
...when the room hummed quietly
...when something was fizzing nearby
...when the air started to move
...when the sound came from inside the jar
...when it was still working
...when it almost stopped
...when breath brushed against skin
...when saliva caught in your throat
...when a voice dropped suddenly
...when the sound was too close
...when the liquid shifted
...when the surface broke
...when the container answered back
...when pressure released slowly
...when I leaned in to hear it better
...when the sound changed because I moved
...when listening altered the sound
...when it reacted to my presence

The following sound cues appear in the score as animated, randomised text sequences generated by the Oscilla environment. These sequences may be triggered during performance and used to produce sounds that are recorded, replayed, or followed live.
For situations in which performers choose to temporarily disengage from the screen, a printed derivative of the same word pool may be used as a reference. This offline version does not replace the dynamic score, but mirrors its logic of repetition, recombination, and variability, allowing performers to continue working with the same material while remaining aligned with the system’s underlying structure.
