these walls sing scores - round three

Here's more on our progress with These Walls Sing.

With our first attempt at making scores with original graphic notation, it was clear that each of us had made a score using devices familiar to us from our own disciplines - David's relied on time and layering, Esther's relied on space and body, and Shana's relied on line and color. Therefore, challenge #3 was to do the reverse. Shana and Esther to create "time-based" scores and David a "space-based" score.

Here is Esther's attempt:



I intentionally started with what I interests me, which is the body. I have a strong association between footprints on paper and the feeling of progression and exploration. They seem mysterious - whom do they represent? where are they taking her? what are they revealing to me?

Using the hands and feet symbols helped me think about moving through time and create a pattern that could be read sonically as well as temporally.

More from Shana and David soon.
