Graphic Scores for Traditional Musicians

I am experimenting with Graphic Scores as a platform for traditional musicians to be immediately creative in their own musical accents. By putting readers and non-readers on the same level these pieces give performers the freedom to play their own sounds within a structure. These pieces plays to the strengths of traditional musicians in listening and responding to each other in performance.

Here are some examples, any thoughts?




Idea & Realisation - some thoughts

The Score is not the Work
The Performance is not the Work
The Development is not the Work
The Idea is the Work

The Idea is not the realisation
The Development is not the realisation
The Score is not the realisation
Is the Performance the realisation?
Probably Not

Meeting minds and developing the Idea & the Work is the way to realise it in Performance
