New Online project: Sarah Hughes graphic score
‘Architectural Model Making’
We sent a copy of ‘Architectural Model Making’, a graphic score by Sarah Hughes, to 14 musicians and asked them to send in their realisations of the piece. The first eight realisations are now up online, and you can listen to them and read an interview with Sarah about her work here
The realisations already online are by:
Lali Barrière / Eduard Màrquez
Realisations by the other musicians will be added as they are ready.
To see a larger image of the score click here
other online projects
In addition to the new project with Sarah Hughes, there are two other new online projects that will be ready soon.
Variations 2 develops the structure used on Christoph Schiller’s recent CD ‘Variations’ to create new musical chains featuring a wide variety of musicians.
And the Mobiles Project will present three original collaborative works co-ordinated by Johnny Chang, Dimitra Lazaridou-Chatzigoga and Samuel Rodgers, each involving a range of other musicians.
website redesign
The Another Timbre website is currently being completely redesigned, and when it is relaunched it will not only look different, but be much easier to read on tablets, mobile phones etc. At that point we will also start offering pay-for downloads of the whole catalogue.
Thanks to Richard Pinnell for making these changes possible.
