스키매틱 스코어(Schematic Scores) – 값에서 구조로

Created by Conrad House , Schematic Scores are his latest experiments in visualising data in schematic form, whether these be musical scores, geometric representations, drafted architectural papers, or simply anything with values as the underlying material. I like data visualisation for the aesthetics alone rather than necessarily always caring what it represents (I know, shame on me right?). The idea that the formation of the composition is derived from some data in itself is more than enough to tickle my number-orientated brain. I love the idea that the most mundane data can represent some visual value, same applies to random data, the beauty in emergence. Conrad House Schematic Scores are a homage to some of Conrad's favorite visualizations of music. It includes five main "vocabularies" to the composition, three of them directly related to the artists John Cage, Krzysztof Penderecki, and John De Cesare. John De Cesare, Study 140A (1956), Krzysztof Penderecki, and John Cage The initial idea of this work lived in a 2d view, simple scores. But I'd be remiss not to include an artist that may be my favorite when it comes to visualizing scores and in general, using scores and musical notation as a medium and material. That artist is Frank Lepold, also known as @andyamholst on some social media sites. Frank has a beautiful catalogue of work on his blog. Sadly, Frank passed in 2023 and I often find myself thinking about his work a lot. I hope this project exposes someone to his work and maybe helps a memory of him be extended just a little further. Frank has a piece titled Kasse II where he creates a geometric score with four faces…this piece inspired me to experiment with a generator of scores and schematics as structures. For Conrad, the next step for the project is to see how to make these scores actually play. Project Page | About | Conrad House
