ON NOTATION
(2017-Present)
“The notation is more important than the sound. Not the exactitude and success with which a notation notates a sound; but the musicales of the notation in its notating.”
Cornelius Cardew, composer
The on notation series focuses on semiology and the objects found in musical notation. Stripping them of their traditional context, the series places various shapes and symbols into new structures and shapes that focus on their visual properties instead of their acoustic properties. The new structures focus on creating an appreciation for the uniqueness of the visual aesthetics in a musical score.
