Four Graphic Notations by Stroud

with a foreword by Mark Applebaum

The following pictures are musical scores, works of visual art teeming with evocative glyphs and densely arranged pictographs. The meaning of these visual figures is deliberately left undefined by the composer; each performer(s) is invited to make a sonic realization of the score by articulating its signs according to a personal interpretation. Interpretations may be made spontaneously or prepared in advance.

Mostly all of the scores consist of computer images (clip art, etc.) spliced and arranged. The scores can be played by a solo player or a group of players. Instrumentalists, vocalists, and electronic musicians are welcome. Dancers, performance artists, and performers of other media might interpret the score.

Some players will infer a linear sequence from the pictures. However, the scores can be played in any way: from left to right or right to left; from top to bottom or bottom to top; any number of panels may be played once or more than once; panels may be omitted; multiple players might follow one another in canon, perform simultaneously from the same panel, or assign each player to a single panel (thereby effecting an antiphonal realization); a soloist might perform only part of the score during the concert, or he or she might play the entire group of panels multiple times; an ensemble might divide their concert duration into solo, tutti, or various sub-ensemble settings; etc.

StroudStroud is a young performance artist / director /writer in the Northeast, Ohio area. His work is experimental, conceptual, visceral, and youthful in nature. Stroud's focus as an artist is in empowering non-artists to become artists, changing the parochial view of what art is and should be, and in inventing new forms of art for the world of tomorrow. He says, "I don't think inside the box, I don't think outside the box, I think, there is NO BOX."
