Here are three more images from the Every Sound You Can Imagine exhibit, currently running at New Langton Arts in San Francisco. Each shows an example of the avant-garde sheet music on display. I ran two previous entries on the show: disquiet.com, disquiet.com. These three images were taken with the G1 cellphone camera, as a test. They seem to have turned out OK, though I’ll rely on my proper digital camera in the future:
A piece by John Luther Adams:
“Haiku” (1952) by John Cage:
And a detail from a page of Philip Glass‘s Einstein on the Beach:
The text in the Glass, which I believe was written by Robert Wilson, the piece’s director, reads:
The prologue begin [sic] when the house opens and the audience enters
Repeat three note sequence by starting note value at 20″ + 30″ + 40″
Gradually shorten values proportionally untill [sic] tempo of knee 1 is achieved
More coverage to follow. More details at newlangtonarts.org.
