I’m no musician, but these stunning scores make me wish I was! [1] Cornelius Cardew (7 May 1936 - 13 December 1981) creator of the [2] graphic score [3] Treatise, a composition that was heavily informed by the visual art world of the 60’s. This brilliant flash animation examines some recurring themes and offers some interpretation. As a non music playing person the notations are lost on me, but the animated guides reveal many universal ideas that we can all relate to.
