DE PLAYER will work during 2016 and 2017 in coöperation with Remco van Bladel on a project named 'Pushing Score'. It will do research, experiments and presentations on the actual position of this phenomenon.

The graphical score has a long history. Already before notations on paper the Gregorian chants of the scola cantorum, already where conducted by writing of signs in the air. This later on developed into the musical notation as we know in the western music. From this standard there has been made all kind of different varieties of musical notations. Especially the visual arts played a keyhole in this. By using Jacques Attali his book Noise: The Political Economy of Music as a reference and inspirational source, we want to do research on the potentials of nowadays knowledge and media. Pushing the apparatus ahead to further new impressions is the goal. From this standpoint we look for new configurations to produce new, previously unknown, relationships in the field of sound, visual arts and the performance.

More specific information on the project will follow. During this period several presentations will take place on different locations. Also a website will be launched as ’club house’. Later on results will be published.

This project is supported by the Mondiaan Fund.
