	For electronic tape and piano improvisation. The acoustic piano component of the piece is a live improvisation performed concurrently with the electronic component. The electronic component is made up of three different kinds of sound: those generated from electronic sound modules, found sounds (such as washing machines and silverware rattling), and people speaking. The sounds were manipulated electronically to produce a sonic equivalent to the sociological theories of George Herbert Mead. I asked myself questions dealing with his theories such as "What does social interaction sound like?" and combined the musical answers to these seemingly absurd questions with a recording of L. Bluhm, a friend and Mead expert, explaining his understanding of the theories. The resulting piece is a product of my fascination with the visionary and idiosyncratic sociological and psychological thought of George Herbert Mead.
