During a four-hour performance, the four performers can turn the lights on and off to play or not to play. Performers may renounce or participate at any time they wish. The longer the time, the more improvised parts of the performance, but also the overall framework of the rules. In the traditional performance, the relationship between the performer and the audience is similar to that of the circus. The clapping begins, and the clapping ends when the performer performs the section of this period. Performers can't decide too much. The Switch Quartet is intended to break up the time structure of the performance, which is long and may overlap like multiple samples.
