Description:

A SUMMARISED ACCOUNT, see my BandCamp or FaceBook page (https://www.facebook.com/norman.freund.545/) for the full story.

It all started several months ago when I spotted an old video from Stefan Goetsch aka Hainbach "Don't push the sounds around - working with a graphic score" Ref. [1], a documentary on graphic (music) scores instead of the more common and traditional Western Staff notation (five lines on a staff ) (Ref. [2]). Then more recently a video from Walker Farrell of MakeNoise "Iteration 4: The Score | Make Noise" Ref. [3], also describing the process and it was this last video that finally prompted me to try this for myself.

My graphic score was created quite naively, a sketch on my iPad using my fingers as a drawing "brush", none the less, it was a means of a capturing my thoughts without interruption, without the impediments of formal limitations of more complicated drawing systems. A pencil and paper would have done the job as well!

I purposely left off verbal instructions on the graphic score, leaving that up to the performer.

I set up one of my analogue synthesisers, the Soma Enner as the main performance instrument. The Enner has a very tactile interface between musician and the music produced and allows a combination of textural sounds, melodic sounds and can capture sounds from the outside world through it's piezo pickup connected to it's front plate. To me the graphic score I had to work with implied movement and the Enner was perfect for this, allowing my hands to intimately define the spatial position in space where the sound is coming from.

Next came my six track digital software based recorder, FindTheBeat. This was the glue of tying together musical ideas performed on the Enner. It also allowed me to change the speed of the sound fragments and have them loop and layered as desired.

I then proceeded to record melodic lines on the Enner, through to the Soma COSMOS in rhythmic mode #5 algorithm (favouring 1/6 rhythms), adjusting the SUP/COM and FB settings to gradually bring in new ideas replacing the old, or just looping portions for a while before moving on to the next idea.

For further reading on the subject of graphical scores, see References [4], [5], [6], [7].

What music would you author given this score? Feel free to use this score for your own interpretations and send me a link to the music you published. In your description please reference the score I used to spread the good karma around.

Music & Lyrics: Eddy Mango

MIRACLES

Lazy I want to feel lazy day,
let it be real.
Come back again let it be true.
Oh I´m longing for you I do...
Lazy day I say come back and stay.

Miracles you don´t think It´s true..
Miracles but it can happen to you..
Suddenly when all hope is gone,
the miracle is on.

Sunny days are back again and we sing,,,
sunshine refrain.
All the way we feel okey,,,
never leave us sunny sunny day.


Miracles. ( 1998 ) Eddy Mango-Margareta Theorin ( Eddy )

Intricate Daftness. 2020.

NOWHERE FOREVER for piano & morning

I was trained in tradition, yet I stepped beyond its walls. Sound is my language, not to decorate but to liberate. Composer, performer, and listener — one fire, three sparks, inseparable.

I write and compose to uncover what is hidden: the truth buried beneath power, the dignity of the ordinary, the current of awareness that flows through all.

I belong to no authority, only to sound, to truth, to the silence from which all begins. My work is not mastery, but remembrance — a manifesto in every note, every word, every breath.

I am a composer of the 21st century: a studio artist. The studio is my forge, my battlefield, my sanctuary. Machines hum like choirs, circuits burn like torches, cables twist like roots in the earth. Tradition breaks open in this fire — the score turns to light, the instrument becomes the world itself.

To be a studio artist is to seize sound at its rawest, to sculpt electricity and breath as one, to summon the invisible power that belongs to all. Here music is not bound by walls, not enslaved by profit, not tamed by form. It is free, untouchable, unending — a living flame for the century that is ours.
