Painting Music: One-Page Score Project

This past February, musicians from Vancouver, Roberts Creek, Galiano Island, Montreal and Ottawa collaborated with participants from the Sunshine Coast (and one from Brazil!) to create a series of twelve new graphic score pieces. For this edition of the popular One-Page Score project Vancouver New Music expanded the project’s reach to the Sunshine Coast by partnering with LABORATORIO, a Roberts Creek based arts organization led by VNM Artistic Director Giorgio Magnanensi.
Guided by Magnanensi, workshop participants – largely Sunshine Coast residents for this particular edition of the project – learned about and experimented with graphic notation, sound, composition, gesture and figure to create their own One-Page Scores. Each composer was then paired with a professional musician, who created a sonic interpretation of their score, with each sound artist contributing their unique instrumentation and musical style.
The final creations from each session will be premiered as YouTube premieres in two sessions, the first haven tajeb place on March 12th, the second on 19th at 4p.m. PST (1 p.m. EST). Everyone is invited to tune in and take part in a live chat with the artists and musicians.
