In the AM we will discuss and annotate this text:

Yuill, Simon. 2008. “All Problems of Notation Will Be Solved By the Masses.” http://www.metamute.org/editorial/articles/all-problems-notation-will-be-solved-masses.

Please put time aside to read it beforehand and please take a look at this text: Scratch Orchestra (1969) Nature Study Notes

Last year [as part of Femke's project], Xpub1 developed this over two sessions:

another version is here https://hub.xpub.nl/soupboat/SI18/notations/

This year, Lens Based developed this over two sessions:

https://pzwiki.wdka.nl/mediadesign/ScratchDirectory

They are based on The Scratch Orchestra’s nature Study Notes (1969) http://intuitivemusic.dk/iima/sonsn.pdf.

In The Scratch Orchestra, the members (with varying degrees of musical ability) would propose a set of restraints (notations) which would be performed by the members.

The first two links above are lens-Based’s and Xpub’s experiments using their own restraints (and including "cover versions").
