Our #dmgBoost challenge is back to a random playable item.

"The Hidden Object Rite" by #ChristopherHobbs:
musicgames.wikidot.com/sub:scr

It's from #ScratchOrchestra's #NatureStudyNotes (1969), digitised for the #wiki from handwritten copies as it was originally published.

It has guessing, but rules don't determine the music a lot, only the overall length of improvisation and the moment when some of the players should stop.

The cooperative approach would make playing suggestive ("musical hints").

A hand-written text that says:

> CHTHOR15 1. Each member of the group finds an object from outside the performing area (preferably from the streets, fields, etc.) Any member of the group who is reluctant to work alone may team up with another or others who are similarly inclined (do not work in groups of more than 3). They choose one object between them, but each has the full number of guesses (see below). A time-limit (eg. 45 minutes) may be set, at the end of which time all the members of the group must have returned to the performing area with their objects.

The text visibly continues afterwards...
