Paper Score for Consequences (One Thing Leads To Another)

Many of our more complicated or longer form pieces are first prepared by preparing lists of content from the media that we source from, and then ordering these lists by mood, subject matter, visual similarities, pitch and form.  These lists of paper then become the process-led “score” for the piece that follows.  Here are some pictures of the score to Consequences (One Thing Leads To Another).

Curated by Ilan Volkov, Tectonics brings together musicians from different worlds and backgrounds for an audience that’s open and ready for new experiences and surprises. The festival will include young composers and pioneering figures, chamber music, orchestral music and electronic performances.

Earlier that same evening, People Like Us will perform CONSEQUENCES (ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER).
