Since Thursday I’ve been collating the elements I collected from the Centre for Artists’ Books at the DCA for use in a score to be performed at the opening/closing event for the Cabin: Codex exhibition (which one it is is still TBC). Today saw the manifestation of the score itself. Quite interestingly, when laying out the elements, I’ve started to mentally build the piece and be able to hear certain parts. I’m really looking forward to actually getting in about the interpretation of the score. It reads in three sections, from top left to bottom right, equal visual space devoted to urban/threshold/rural although the duration of each movement is at the performer’s discretion. The sound reads from the bottom to the top in terms of frequency, bass components at the bottom, higher frequencies at the top of each section.

The credits for the original elements are below although I’ve yet to get the final list of full titles/references so apologies for any inconsistencies, all images are the property of their respective artists (although I’ve re-interpreted/altered some in the name of artistic license).
