Score-Making is an invitation to develop meaningful links between sound practices and everyday experience.

There are prompts in several broad sections-maps, necessities, difficulties-that involve responding to questions and then drawing from those responses to create a set of instructions for sound-making (scores). Several example scores are included under each set of questions. Through performance of these scores, abstract ideas are brought into the realm of direct, immediate experience.

While this project is grounded in a text score tradition associated with experimental music, it is open to any number of approaches and can be bent to the creative will and technical resources of each individual reader. It mainly calls for honesty and a willingness to seek out alignment between personal and creative intentions.
