It's #UncommonInstrumentAwarenessDay, so we have to ask: have you ever made music…with paper? In 1960, founding Fluxus member Benjamin Patterson conceived of the score, Paper Piece. Readily available material—paper—was used to make music: shake, break, tear, crumple, rumple, bumple, rub, scrub, twist, poof, and pop! Democratic in spirit and undeniably fun, Paper Piece would go on to become one of the most loved and performed Fluxus scores from the 1960s and ’70s.
