A solo performance homage to Tom Marioni for wind instrument and beer. Alternating between extremely high and low pitches, the performer attempts to sustain tones on their instrument while consuming as much beer as possible. Once the performer has reached their limit, the empty beer bottles are arranged into a straight line and candles are inserted. After lighting the candles, the performer attempts to extinguish the flames by blowing through their instrument. The piece ends after this goal is accomplished, or the performer gives up from exhaustion.
