MUSIC IN TEXT

But I was particularly pleased that Tony and Chris both chose to interpret the same score from the book – especially when they both ended up doing such different things with it. I’m very fond of both.

Points of Listening workshop at London College of Communications, 14th May 2014.

Last May, I was fortunate to attend one of the Points of Listening workshops organised by CRISAP (Creative Research Into Sound Arts Practice) at the London College of Communication. The workshop was all about text scores. After playing together some classic pieces – a Sonic Meditation by Pauline Oliveros, Christopher Hobbs’s Walk Event, Nivea Cream Piece by Alison Knowles – we went on to play a recent piece by Viv Corringham (who was present at the session) and, finally, one of my pieces from Music in Text entitled Tending to Converge. Cathy Lane was leading the session and playing clarinet. I had my Korg Monotron and there were maybe a dozen other players whose names, unfortunately, I can't remember
