Non-standard notation

When using live electronic manipulation of sound composer's often resort to non-standard forms of notation.

  • Pedro Rebelo uses various notation idea including graphic scores and partially notated instructions in many of his pieces. Exposure is one example (video of performance and downloadable score) but you can also look at other examples on his site.
  • Another score which combines conventional notation with graphics is Echoic by Edgar Barroso (scroll down to hear a recording of the piece).
  • Other interesting examples include Harvey's Advaya and Pres by Saariaho (both for cello).
