Graphic notation
The technique of performing a musical work with graphic scores allows the viewer to feel the connection of sound and visual composition. This way of execution allows you to focus on the subtle changes in texture of the sound field, opens up wide capabilities for interpretation.
Lines trigger strings (guitar, viola and viola da gamba); Dimensional figures, filling noise correspond with electronic sounds. Spheres are bound to percussion. Musicians play the middle range between vertical lines.
The closer to the centre, the louder they play.
Performed by the Ensemble KYMATIC in Moscow, 2016.
