Delete 4 4

Imperfect Pledges series - 1. October 2025

Instrumentation: Solo Saxophone (any)

Duration: 4’00

Imperfect Pledge: For 4 minutes each day in October 2025, I aim to delete any unnecessary data stored on my phone, with the aim to act as a daily reminder to myself -

• of the waste of precious time spent on my device

• of my unnecessary use of ‘cloud’ storage

• that data storage, streaming & AI searches use water

About the Imperfect Pledges series:

A 12 part monthly series (October 2025 - September 2026), making pledges to myself for that month to add or change a habit, to have a positive impact both on my lifestyle and on the wider environment in some way

I may not be completely perfect in executing the pledges, but building good habits is the aim, and so they are imperfect pledges

100% of profits will be donated to eco causes relevant to each individual pledge in the series

“We don’t need a handful of people doing it perfectly, we need millions of people doing it imperfectly” - Anne Marie Bonneau, on zero waste
