Video: Graphic scores by grade schoolers

This fall, ODDMUSIC-UC was invited to a University of Illinois Saturday Art
School class as guest artist. We taught a workshop called �The Sound Visual
Connection�, which brought together several ways of doing music and visual
art non-separately.

We played the students music they hadn�t heard before, and they drew
sketches they hadn�t drawn before. We listened to the marching band warming
up outside the window, and performed Andrew�s *Miniatures for Two Otonalists
* in a bout of oddmusical evangelism. Then, a visit to the computer lab for
making graphic computer-music scores with HighC. Finally, udderbot making!
And circle games.

I want to put in a plug for HighC <http://highc.org/history.html>. It�s a
beautifully designed, light-weight, elegant program which enables one to
make graphic scores. Time is on the horizontal axis, and pitch on the
vertical axis. Different timbres appear as different colors; amplitudes are
represented by line thickness. Pitch is by default on a continuum
(microtonal in the broadest sense). The whole thing costs 30 Euros (we used
the demo for our class, but if you�re looking for an Xmas present for
Oddmusic�)

Following a brief introduction to the program, students were given only *10
minutes* to make a score lasting between 12 and 30 seconds. I arranged the
results into this slideshow, which gives a peek into the variety attainable
with this program, as well as the variety of each student.

John,

This old (but excellent) program is freeware.

Hello,
I just released two albums. Forgotten Works contain remakes and reconstructions of few songs from eighties. Some of them are microtonal although most of them were presented here already. Flex Nr. 3 - 9 is a collection of my sine tone studies, most of them in no tuning but some in various ETs.

Enjoy!
