For his solo exhibition, Transitivity of Implication, at the Museum of Portable Sound's Exposition Space, sound artist Daniel Toca composed a text score which was read aloud by exhibition curator Cristina Sousa Martînez and then performed by sound artist Viv Corringham, recorded, and then added to Toca's exhibition. This private view of Toca's exhibition took place at Chalton Gallery, London, on 4 November 2016. Toca's exhibition runs at The Museum of Portable Sound from winter 2016 through spring 2017. The text of the score is below.

Catalogue d'oiseaux

Remember the song of the last bird
you saw.

The song starts.
The bird is singing.
The song is happening.

The song ceases.
There is silence.
No more singing.
No more song.

What bird was it?
Where was that bird?
Where is that song?
