John Zorn: COBRA (2002)
Probably Zorn's most famous game piece, and for ample reason. In a performance of “COBRA,â€? the prompter/conductor holds up various cards that indicate what the performers should do, and the rest is wonderful COBRA confusion. Rather than tell everyone in the audience what is going on, Zorn, like an ancient Kung Fu master, keeps the secret rules of the game an oral tradition to those who perform it. Just the audio portion, but one can still hear the razor-like jump cuts from one thing to the next. Experimental game music at its finest, and, once again, it could only happen at Tzadik.
