Mountain Piece
Climb to the top of the nearest mountain.
Throw a paper plane off of it.
See where the wind guides it.

Get a glass
Place it and look due North
Capture the air around you
Compress it
Flip the glass over
What color is the compressed air
Change the color
Release it
Don’t forget the color
The Human body and other similar noises
Blink twice
Clap your hands 3 distinct times and remember the noise.
Snap your fingers, twice with each hand, alternating hands.
Find a squeaky floorboard and lean on it, then if you are able, crack your knuckles or other joint.
Fill a bucket of water with dish soap and make a ton of bubbles. Listen to them pop.
Fill a balloon with air and listen to the ends flap as you let the air out.
Remember the sound your body made and compare it to the previous noises, then make one last noise with your body and try to match it with a previous sound as best you can.
Blink twice
Child Garden
by Carter Cameron
Take your plastic water bottle
And cut it in half.
Cut slowly.
Savor the experience.
Take the upper half
And crush it under foot.
Quickly now.
Don’t make it wait.
Fill what remains of your bottle with soil.
Plant a piece in this soil.
Now wait.

Social Distancing Piece
by Vivian Priestly
Go to your front door.
Open it wide.
Imagine a thousand people
standing outside.
Now listen to them shuffle.
Record the sound,
and play it for a friend.
Shuffle together.
