In the final bar, each player repeats their note several times. Each taking a breath after each note, and making no attempt to coordinate with other players, but ensuring there is an overall gradual diminuendo.
Optional: other instruments play a drone on G throughout. If there are no instruments playing a drone, then Part 6 plays a concert G for two bars at the beginning.
Also optional: a roll on a suspended cymbal throughout, with a crescendo in the bar before each rehearsal letter, and a diminuendo in the following bar.
Programme note:
He Said "Sam,You're Out of Focus" is a companion piece to And I Said "HeyTed,You're Pixelated". This piece has taken a short extract from a 19th Century piece and obscured the identity of it by elongating it and compressing the pitch range.
