The act of covering one’s ears contradicts from the act of enjoying a musical experience. It is an act to protect one’s self from loud or uncomfortable noise and overwhelming flow of information, and reclaiming one’s self. Cover Your Ears! is a response to witnessing a number of "composers" composing music in the likes of noise for the sake of what "new music should sound like". If the composers do not want to listen to their works themselves, who else will listen?
The performers as well as all audience members are to wear foam earplugs when experiencing this work.
