Artist Beverley Bennett made musical/dance visual score series, Cacophony. Beverly asked me to compose music to them on the cello. I applied a different methodology for each one. These works open up music making and performing to all musicians; regardless of training, ability to read music or skill-level.
This one is SHADE AND SHAPE. The triangular forms are read left to right. Their height (or width up and down) informing volume. Their shading informing harmony (dark=low light=high). Where the contrast of dark and light is starker I have gone for more extreme tonal variation, bringing in harmonics and low C and scratching bowing.
Toying with the idea of making software to imitate these interpretative methodologies. I imagine this one to be one of the easiest to get a computer to perform.
