- 1988, Lynne Anne Blom, L. Tarin Chaplin, The Moment of Movement: Dance Improvisation, page 217:
- Consider other types of accompaniment: blinking lights, fans and streamers, a parade of candles. Design your nonsound accompaniment and your relation to it (instigator, victim, partner, background). Improvise.

- She listened harder as the sound separated itself from the nonsound, and as her sleep separated from waking.
