                    ...why?
    These exercises are part of the creative 
     result of the project InnerEye. The project 
     is meant as a series of collaborative 
     compositional practices, in which a 
     performer is developing pieces with 
     composers without making use of any visual 
     inputs. The project is inspired by an 
     attempt to imagine a blind musician's 
     concept on sound, and a quest for 
     purification of our learning processes and 
     internalization of music.
    There is no overall order of the exercises, 
     but the order within a subject/folder 
     should be respected.
                   
                             performance use
      The exercises can be combined to create ritual/game pieces 
          for performance.
          Combination rules:
                           •    Any cards within different categories can be 
                                combined. This is also advised for practicing.
                           •    It is possible to combine cards within the 
                                same category in the same piece, but that 
                                could only generate an addition on the 
                                vertical (different layers play different 
                                mechanisms from the same category) or an 
                                addition on the horizontal (new sections, 
                                extensions of form). They cannot be merged 
                                into a monolith.
                           •    It is recommended to develop and explore more 
                                possibilities than the processes as they are 
                                described. If you would like to share your 
                                findings, please contact

                 practice use
   Recommendations:
   -It is possible but not mandatory to keep track 
     of the progress. However, the notation should 
     happen outside the frame of the practice. It 
     recommended to make no use of paper and pencil 
     – or notation – during the practice of these 
     exercises. Audio notes could be an option.
   -Details for the exercises are hopefully given in 
     such a way as to leave space for the performer 
     to develop their own versions and explore their 
     own areas of interest. Each of the cards 
     presents cognitive exercises which require an 
     extended period of practice to allow the brain 
     to be comfortable with them. They should not be 
                     
     regarded as “recipes”.
                DYNAMIC MAP
    Think about an intense memory with a 
      person that you deeply care about.
     Remember as much as possible from 
      those moments: the sound of their 
      voice, the soundof their voice in 
      your head, the smell, the feel of 
           your body, your feelings.
