about

These pieces were created using phonetic text scores of my own invention. To read these text-sounds as one would read words requires an acceptance of the linguistic syntax involved in creating these fragments. The next step is to mentally or imaginatively translate these text-sound-words into word-sounds, before interpreting an approximation or abstraction of those sounds through an instrument or sound source. To co-opt the traditional use of the term “sight-reading”, I refer to this process as "sound-reading". In this case, the process of sound-reading translates the written information into a goal for sound creation that the performer subsequently aims to reach.
