Cornelius Cardew 'treatise' and graphic scores

shawn feeney's electronic realisation: https://vimeo.com/24759329

the actual score -- when animated -- always reminds me of the look of george dunning's yellow submarine

which reminds me (since it's where i first wrote that observation down) here's a little piece i wrote about it (pdf -- you have to scroll down) : http://www.soundmatters.org.uk/content/documents/exhibition-guide/CC_SM_guide.pdf

and here's a version by the SYNTAX ensemble now the youtube embeds are sorted:

Treatise: An Animated Analysis -- a fair proportion of which seems "state the bleedin obvious" to me, but perhaps i have been thinking about this object for too long

Takes me back to my slog through Tilbury's biog at the start of the year, I must pick it up again.

i close-read a few sections for that "sound matters" catalogue piece and speedread the rest: i was actually constantly torn between "dude NO ONE needs to know this much abt xxx" and "i feel there is actually more to say here on this topic" (ie that someone not so caught up in and basically sympathetic to a lot of CC's odder stances might have a sharper perspective?)

i'm still glad the JT biog exists but blimey

Agree with all of that. JT not only sympathetic to CC's later wrongness but complicit in, of course.
