The Chance

The Grant Project From: Patricia To: Brenden

Using the White Pages (phone book), look for the last name of Grant in the area code (415).
Find a row with the last name of Grant.
Select 10 people, at random, with the name Grant. Avoid businesses.
Call these 10 people on the telephone and ask them for their favorite song or piece of music. Write down their responses.
Search the songs for the music (score) and write down the first measure or phrase of each song.
Then, using Audacity (- download it for free @ http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/mac), record into the program each (first) measure/phrase of each song, either by humming or by playing an instrument.
Edit these first measures/phrases, using effects, and create a piece of music.

The French Food Shuffle

Write the first 10 kinds of restaurant (Chinese, Italian, Mexican, you get the idea)that come to mind on piece of paper, numbered 0 to 9.
Open a phone book and note the first number that you see.
Look up the names and numbers of 12 different restaurants of that type.
Call each restaurant and ask the first person you speak to for a letter out of A, B, C, D, E, F, or G.
Write all the letters on the paper. If the person is more than friendly, write "major". If the person is mean, write "minor." If the person does not give you an answer (or there is no answer), write nothing, but circle it.
Cut each letter/circle out along with whatever notes there are on the answer.
Choose 4 without looking and arrange them in a straight line. Write this down and underline this part, "1".
Choose another 4 without looking and arrange them as "2". Arrange and label the last as "3".
Now write a song by copying the 4 note sequences, "1-1-2-1 2-2-1-1 3-3-2-2 1-1-2-1"

Title it, "_ __ Food Shuffle" and leave it on or near the next piano you see.
