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].
