The One-Page Score Workshop is back with an all new virtual edition!

Even though we can’t all gather, we want to keep people connected through creativity.

For this special virtual edition of the One-Page Score Project, we invited community members from a wide variety of backgrounds to take part in a free two-day online workshop on how to create a graphic score. Guided by Giorgio Magnanensi, participants learned about and experimented with graphic notation, sound, composition, gesture and figure.The participants were then paired with a member of the Vancouver Electronic Ensemble to collaborate on an interpretation of their score, playing with the musician’s unique instrumentation and musical style.

In graphic notation, signs and symbols can be used to represent sounds, textures and various kinds of sonic events. Using graphic notation, composers don’t need any prior knowledge of how to write or read traditional musical notation – just a desire to create and explore sound.

Online workshop dates were: April 28 (5-7pm) and May 5, 2020 (5-7pm).
