SONIC SCORE WORKS

Creative Scores and Text-ty Analysis. The following works are scores created from the text

TWO: GERTRUDE STEIN AND HER BROTHER by Gertrude Stein

I am working with this text to explore what Stein is doing with sound and language. The next stage is to transform these scores into digital sound works.


Examples

Original Stein text piece

Text piece blocked, words run together, footnoted

Text Morse code-ed

Text arranged for patterns and gaps

The word ‘Sound’ highlighted

Text split into sentences – noting sentence lengths

Text pieces coded to highlight the word SOUND- noted rhythms

Text placed on central axis, noting balance/imbalance

Text ready for working with sound as a blocks or units

More creative text frames follow, these scores break works into separate frames each with their own qualities, but still part of a whole, using this method there is room for 'other' forms of representation ie color, image etc
