Plucking the strings, and gradually going downwards in pitch. Start from the highest octave and go down to the lowest.
The pitches are mostly arbitrary: the two sixteenth-notes in a pair should both be of the same pitch though.
Also, the highest / starting pitch respectively the lowest / ending pitch should NOT be the lowest/highest pitch possible.

Scratching tremolo: scratch vigorously the strings of the lowest register


with the edge of plastic cards longer side.
Gradually increase the dynamics / pressure as well as the amplitude of the vertical movement
as you move horizontaly towards higher pitches.
Start with scratching only the lowest C1 string, but from the second eight-note use
the whole lenghth of the card to include multiple pitches and create a cluster-effect.
The range of the movement can vary depending on the piano model. However, do not go higher than A2# (Ais).
take the card in the right hand,

Use this time to prepare the piano with glass: put the glass upside down on the strings so that
you get the tone C5# (cis 2) sounding prepared. (Well, broken, if you prefer;)).
Make this action as gentle and as toneless as possible, then sit back and play.

Drag the glass with very little pressure over the surface of the strings of the middle register.
Starting position of the horizontal movement should be
somewhere around G4 (g1), and the vertical one somewhere around C3 (c) (depending on the piano-type).

Hit the keys with your spread palm to get raw-sounding clusters.
Starting point: highest octave. The pitches are arbitrary, but respect the
depicted general direction of the clusters as well as relations between them.
This last cluster should
contain the prepared
G2 (G).
Let ring.

(While still leting it ring, do the glissando with nails of the right hand
Let it ring as long as it takes for sound to
completely vanish (surely a minute, or even longer) over the surface of the white keys.
This should not produce tones, just quiet noise.)
