We are proud to present to you the third edition of Graphème: another series of graphic and experimental music scores by composers from a variety of backgrounds and experience.
Each composer offers a rigorous conceptual framework and provides an often sensual dialog between composer, performer, sound and space in spirit of collaborative creativity.
The pieces here represent imaginative and inventive ways to notate a musical vision, making use of innovative approaches – photographic representation, geometric and cartographic schema and various degrees of indetermination and precision – as well as extending more traditional ideas of notation, to expand on expressive possibilities.
Through these conceptual and material collaborations, the composers presented here, each in their own ways, set frameworks that invite the performers’ imagination to flourish. They engage with materiality and gesture, expanding on Cagean ideas by re-purposing sonic, environmental contexts.
All of the composers in this edition offer to performers, interpreters and listeners alike the opportunity to engage with them and their vision, explore potentials for co-creation and considering and expressing new ideas of music making and performance.
