AM (reading and annotating):

1) Look at Nature Study Notes (1969) by Scratch Orchestra (ed.Cornelius Cardew) read out some of the instructions...

2) RAPID reading and annotation of all problems of notation will be solved by the masses

3) Return to Nature Study Notes (1969)

AM/PM (inventing and experimenting):

14:00 -regroup to organise workflow

Make pad with notations (scratches) on it

In groups, invent, perform, record notations

Time table:

pad for notation exercise https://pad.xpub.nl/p/notation_experiment_0420

a) record your own notations

b) record notations from another group (so, we end up with different recorded versions of the same piece)

4) 16:30 upload and listen

5) 17:00 wrap up
