Performed by members of various Music Appreciation classes at Macon State College in Macon, GA.
The idea for each of these pieces is to demonstrate some of the core compositional ideas behind some 20th C. music - the use Aleatoric principales (a la John Cage) or some of the ideas behind minimalism (Philip Glass, Steve Reich, et al).
For the Aleatoric pieces the class is divided into small groups. We will usually have 5 or 6 groups, each with 4 or 5 students. Each group decided who will lead the group, and are handed a sheet of paper with 3 sounds they are to make. Some examples:
Tell a knock knock joke. Vary the loudness in an odd way.
Repeatedly ask "What is the sound of one hand clapping". Make it different somehow each time.
Make monkey sounds.
Sing "Ommmmmmmm" loudly.
The instructor cues the leaders on when to change sounds. The leaders of each group decides on the spot which sound their group is to make, and the group changes on cue from the leader.
After a period of time - generally a minute - the instructor gives a big cue, at which time the class gives a collective "HUH" to end the piece.
----------------------
The minimalism piece consists of one student cueing the rest of the class between two things to say - On/Off, or Left/Right, for example. The class clusters around the microphone and starts the piece at a whisper. As they move away from the mike they are to gradually get louder. The instructor plays a repeated consonant chord of some type with a constant rhythm on the piano.

The recording process has changed over time as the available equipment has changed. The latest versions were recorded using a Blumlein setup / mid-side configuration with a no-name small-diaphragm condenser and a Cascade Microphones Fat Head II ribbon.
