 7. Elizabeth Aubert - Bibbins atrium (front doors, north side) - December 7th 10.50am

partial (by memory) attendance: Elizabeth Aubert, Jessie Downs, Doug Farrand

documentation: audio recording

notes: (from memory) Elizabeth arrived, performed for a large crowd, quickly before they dispersed, and left. Jessie and I arrived shortly thereafter, spent time listening and made a quick recording. Under the assumption that the low hum of piano repair machinery in the basement constituted the realisation of the score.
