This is one score from Pavilion. "The scores for this work were derived from architectural drawings by alvaro siza for a pavilion at the serpentine gallery in london, where the piece was originally performed. the pavilion design was made up of small squares which i colored in various sequences to correspond to colored bars of small glockenspiels. each performer has a score made from a different elevation, and the piece is essentially mapping a structure in sound."

medium tempo

--piano is percussive, repetitions from ripples

--trumpet floats - and then collides with flute  (sliding notes not full scale but x number of whole steps) - trumpet has largest room to improvise on this piece

--flute slides up along, crossing with trumpet towards middle and end. Sound is between a drone and a slide-whistle if a slide-whistle had grit

--bass if it's there plays to piano

--electronics sample all of the above, jagged and coming apart, splits wired, occasionally filling in silence with silence

   I have been fascinated with sound-environments for the last 25 years, focusing on electroacoustic “sound-paintings”. These complex audio-situations are created mainly from site specific recordings, resulting in subjective reports for radio, “cinema for ears” performed on multiple speakers, and sound-installations integrated into the environment. I am interested also in free-music research as part of social investigation. My work oscillates between purely sound based and multidisciplinary projects.

Performance directions for Parthenogenesis:

This piece is written for da’uli da’uli and an unspecified number of female vocalists.

The mother Komodo dragon and her genetic code are the source of all the lines and other designs within the score.  The newborn dragon coming out of its shell, glowing with new life and power is different from its mother and presents a unique genetic code.  The vertical lines should intuitively guide the strikes of the da’uli da’uli, which will then, in turn, guide the vocalists in pitch and rhythm.  As guided by these lines, the speed and intensity should both diminish throughout the duration of the piece.  There is no set duration. 

The lyrics for Parthenogenesis are in Bugis, the language spoken on Komodo Island.  Indonesian photographer Basok Nasruddin, known as Mr. Bee, performed the phonetic translation for these lyrics.  The vocalists begin singing the words in the order in which they are presented, but should one vocalist wish to continue singing the previous word or words, the group may create a layered effect.  The piece is primarily improvised.

Upon being asked about her greatest ambition:

I defer to John Cage on this, what he writes in Silence about "waking up to the very life we're living"...

“And what is the purpose of writing music? One is, of course, not dealing with purposes but dealing with sounds. Or the answer must take the form of paradox: a purposeful purposelessness or a purposeless play. This play, however, is an affirmation of life -- not an attempt to bring order out of chaos nor to suggest improvements in creation, but simply a way of waking up to the very life we’re living, which is so excellent once one gets one’s mind and one’s desires out of its way and lets it act of its own accord.”

   “SHOGI COMPOSITION” is a kind of recipe for collaborative composition among various people with different musical backgrounds.

   It is just like playing cards around a table. A few players around a table compose short passages one after another instead of playing cards.

Overheard at the UN Promenade, NYC - May 5, 1997

Composer, Pianist

"Musical notation is never perfect. It need not be. Modern notation has been the master plan to be realized. It described the sounds in pitch-time frame with some auxiliary symbols. Musicians tried to realize this image of music on the paper. If music is movement, then notation may tell musicians how to coordinate and how to proceed. It describes the process and not the result. Some traditional notation systems like tablature do this. Music can also use oral transmission, rehearsals, recorded models as well...." Yuji Takahashi

O.P.T.I.O.N.S. (Optional Parameters to Improvise Organized Nascent Sounds) "OPTIONS is a process designed to encourage musical creativity through improvisation. It utilizes a collection of graphic musical notation symbols which may be interpreted and organized in any way the musicians choose. For this rendition, the ensemble will create unified sonic tapestries with overlaid improvised solos."
