Eliza Lauren Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Hi all, I’m looking for composers to contribute graphic scores for a score exchange project. Participants will upload graphic scores and there will be an open invitation for musicians to respond with an audio recording of their own personal interpretation of the score. Submissions should be for open instrumentation only (for any number of instruments), and not for specific instrumentation. You are encouraged to consider shape, colour, size, placement, words etc. Responses may be wide ranging - from digital art, to abstract painting, and video score/animation. Graphic notation can give a voice to musicians who find traditional notation limiting yet have the desire to express themselves through composition. Submission is open to anyone who is interested, not just professional composers. This online space will present opportunities for musicians and amateurs to interact and collaborate virtually. A driving motive behind the project is to bring people together in the time of social isolation. If you feel you need some inspiration, this article is a great place to start: https://www.theguardian.com/music/gallery/2013/oct/04/graphic-music-scores-in-pictures Alternatively, some examples of text scores if this is more your thing: Yoko Ono’s Grapefruit, George Brecht’s Water Yam Pauline Oliveros’ ‘Sonic Meditations Here is a link to the Google Form: https://forms.gle/eVyAo1e6UP1XQqmcA Thanks! Eliza 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yzhang000 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) Ahhhhh, the majestic notion of graphic score! The musical equivalent of defaecating on the canvas and dubbing it "the revolutionary futuristic new art form that only the bravest and brightest will admire"! Welcome to the last shelter for the untalented, and all hail Yoko Ono! No offense to OP. Edited August 22, 2021 by Yanpeng Zhang 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonias Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 No, no. .no, the metaphor of the Venus Flytrap eating the music staff is spot-on. Omicron, print out the illustration and perform the music. There's plenty to explore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
