Inter-media notation

Recently i've been investigating the idea of using notations from other media as musical performative scores. I'm interested in drawing out the process involved in "performing" a score like a knitting pattern, or a recipe, which is usually hidden from the "audience" (the wearer of the garment, or the diner) and focusing not on the finished result, but on the steps and sequences that are contained in the end product. Like in music, often too much focus is applied to the end result, without regard for the intent and process involved in the manufacture and production of a piece. In music this is exemplified by the maniacal devotion to consuming recorded media that pervades the internet age. People are happy to say that they know a performer's work having only listened to recordings, and never having seen the music performed live. Walter Benjamin, in his essay "art in the age of mechanical reproduction" addresses this point, observing that a recording is not a faithful reproduction of an musical work. though recording serves as an excellent record of
a musical event, the very technology employed to create the recording filters and alters the experience of the work that the listener has; even the sound system that the recording is played back on can drastically alter the experience. The actual music, performed in a studio most often, is gone for ever at the moment the piece is over. in many cases, the piece is never actually played all at once (thank you pop music.)

So, what i aim to do, is to create a series of works which draws out the process of a an alternate media in a sonic form, and in performing these scores, to inspire the audience to reflect on the art of everyday life, and the mundane. more on the progression in time!
