Graphic scores often look very different to traditional musical scores. Instead of lines and dots on a musical stave, graphic scores can use all sorts of different images and symbols to tell the performer what to play. This style of music-making opens up the door to a world of composers: people don’t need any prior knowledge of how to write or read conventional musical notes; they just need a desire to explore, play with, and create sound.
Each score will be provided to a quartet of musicians, who will create their musical and sonic interpretations live at the Oxeye Stage on Friday August 9th at 5pm.
We're grateful to collaborate and produce on the shared, stolen, unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of Penelakut, Lamalcha, Hwitslum and other Hul’qumi’num speaking peoples, as well as the ceded territories of Tsawwassen First Nation, on what is now known as Galiano Island, British Columbia. We recognize the complex impacts that hosting settlers and non-settlers has on the Indigenous land and peoples of this area, and we aim to be responsible and accountable for these impacts and our footprint—whether cultural, environmental or social.
We acknowledge the generous support of our partners and funders:
