Scores from February 11th Performance

Here are some of the scores that I made with Johnny. The collaboration was done via Photoshop (I sent him an image and he altered them).



Unfortunately we weren't able to work with color images, but I thought I would post the originals because they look so nice.



Each participant selected two scores to perform. The resulting self-identified groups performed an improvisation based on their discussion of the image...



I was pleased at the effect the graphic scores had on the improvisations. For me it was most evident in how each piece began. Each improviser had a plan (however small) that allowed them to pace themselves, revealing and negotiating their particular interpretation throughout.
