Shannon, on the piece's IMSLP Page, writes:

"This piece is part of a series that explores the composition of new 'instruments' as well as a musical score that allows interpretation in live performance using the commonly available Yamaha DX-series and SY-series FM synthesizers." He includes in the performance notes that "the score more resembles a sort of keyboard tablature."
