Bi-Product is a piece done during the course of any other concert. A manufacturing operation is set up in the hall. During the concert a product, made out of that situation, is produced, packaged, and distributed to the audience.
September 13, 1966, Town Hall, New York City Sounds of the concert were electronically translated into color on pieces of paper, which were distributed to the audience; the colored image disappeared from the paper after three minutes.
March 17, 18, 19, 1967, Park Place Gallery, New York City The sounds of the concert were superimposed on recording tape in the form of loops, which were packaged and distributed to the audience.
"bits of paper tape w vith electronic drawings on them generated by the sounds of the concert." (Theodore Strongin, "Avant-Garde Music Switched on Here," New York Times, September 14, 1966, p. 54.)
