make up a short loop. keep it easy and simple. walk around in a small
circle while you play it.
keep an ear out for other people's loops. when you're ready, start
incorporating someone else's ideas into your loop. find that person
and walk in a circle around them. repeat this process as many times as
you like. try not to bump into anybody.
when you're ready, move towards one corner of the room and gradually
reduce your loop to a one-note pulse or drone. it's okay if someone
wants to orbit you on your move.
when you're ready, fade out your pulse or drone.
