I've never had a problem understanding any of Cage's instructions in his 
published scores. The instructions can seem like mud at the start but become 
crystal clear if you re-read them over a long period of time, and ponder 
them. Think like a programmer.

At one point we were planning to record this work ... until we learned 
someone else decided to do so.

I remember working it up with no issues at all. 

"awe" seems to be right. If you have further issues let me know. I have the 
score.
