Visual Music Scores

Santi Vilanova, Professor of Digital Creation of the Degree in Design, and teacher of the Postgraduate diploma in Curating exhibitions, temporary spaces and creative practices at EINA, is carrying out a project of visual music scores that you can follow on his channel.

Based on a set of graphic generation rules, based on randomness and probabilistics, a custom-developed software proposes a series of visual compositions, which are generated in real time and never repeated.

These scores can be framed within the "tradition" of graphical musical notation that gained strength among 20th century composers (John Cage, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Mestres Quadreny, Gyorgi Ligetti...), and that allowed to free music from the tonality, compass and rigidity of classical staves.

Thanks to a real-time "sonification" engine, the resulting graphics are transformed into "music" by means of sound synthesis algorithms.
