Experimental music notation resources

Włodzimierz Kotoński
(I remember when I was a kid in Poland we had one of his records at home. In retrospect, I know that listening to this music [and Penderecki, and Niemen] was one of my important formative experiences.)

Just finished a big blog post on something I’ve been working on for a while that’s somewhat related to this. It’s my approach to improv analysis, which produces some interesting charts/graphics/etc…

looks a lot like harmonograph output… or drawing rather… ( labor camp’s post re: Roman Verostko that is ) I’m in the midst of making one that also reacts to music / sound… wonderful, informative thread this. wish I could post images…

I’ve always been interested in the idea of extracting music from images / drawings… process’ not intended to be musical, I know thats a whole field ( thread ) to itself… chaos, emergent complexity. babbling brooks. …

I just wanted to add in some drawings by Mark Lombardi… as they seem to belong here… and could possibly be used musically or as fodder for thoughtful patching…

Yes, Mark Lombardi’s work is amazing! I think he was an amazing artist, and I show his work to my students often. I especially love telling the story of how FBI agents showed up after September 11 attacks, at the museum, to study one of Lombardi’s drawings, looking for clues in understanding networks related to (then) little known Osama Bin Laden.
I can see how his work somehow relates to the subject of this thread, as it was essentially a kind of complex notation system. Not musical notation, but definitely a visual representation of invisible structures…
