Yay for John Cage inspired tasks! Nice one Darkaardvark
I don't think anyone can perfectly complete this- but I don't want to see someone do it without a lot of effort so I'm glad it's at level 5- hopefully when this is completed, it'll be impressive.
I submitted a task for 0'0" (basically the instructions with 'completion' replacing 'performance') but it wasn't accepted. It might just be a bit too weird-ish, even for sf0.
Conceptually, 4'33" was just as much about sound as any other piece of music. The title of this task is actually inappropriate for the task description, in a way.
Still love it, though. =)
I remind you that i performed 4'33" while completing army of one.
I remembered my plan to do this, and did it. Now I realize I had forgotten to sign up for it, and it's retired. Dang it!
None in progress, so I can't have someone add me as collaborator. Nuts.
Performed before a live theater audience on December 14, 2016. At Sacred Fools Theater's Ten Tops open mic.

This one looks Hard, but could be a lot of fun. I'm happy to see the word endeavor, allowing for imperfect completions.
Is 0'00 the follow up task? (That one's a whole lot easier.)
