Single UK 2016 on The Black Plume Editions label
Electronic (Experimental)
Live studio recording of 'Directions' by Will Parker & Rob Lowe. Performed by Will Parker & John Macedo. Recorded & mixed by Will Parker at EMS Goldsmiths College, London, July 2013. 'Directions' (Composition, Score & Design) by Will Parker & Rob Lowe 'Directions' is an indeterminate graphic score generator. Comprised of 26 (A-Z) square cards with four possible orientations. Time is the only set parameter, the others are abstract - have no traditional musical references or fixed figurative meaning. Designed as a type of Rorschach test where performers will add their own dimensions, axis and reference points. The form and material must be shaped and negotiated in the moment; complex interactions guided by the Gestalt principals of: proximity, similarity, symmetry, continuation and closure. The Black Plume Editions 003 (TBP003) Download includes PDFs of 'Directions' score (score cards, decoder and picker) and 'Directions' booklet with info and notes about the composition/score. https://johnmacedo.bandcamp.com/album/directions
