My music piece:
Score Instructions:
- Make music with everyday objects or events
- Record them
- Put them all together at the end of the day
- Listen to your day
Conclusion after a few trials:
When I first thought of my score, I believed I would be able to create a somewhat musical sounding piece using random objects or noises. Inspired by John Cage and his avant garde style of music, the idea was to be able to listen to how your day went or what you did. Instead it turned into a jumbled mess of random noises that are rather painful to listen to. Although the piece resulted in a jumbled mess, this jumbled mess somehow perfectly encapsulated a rather mundane day. From a relatively boring task like washing dishes, to my alarm clock blaring, this recording captures parts of my day that otherwise would’ve been easily forgotten if not for this art piece. I will continue to document more of these scores in the next few days so that I can compare my new scores to this iteration (they will also most likely end up as a jumbled mess).
“Instruments” in my recording:
- Typing on my keyboard
- Washing dishes
- Tapping pencil on my notebook
- Opening and closing fridge
- Alarm clock
- Coins spinning
- Roommate beatboxing
- Eggs on skillet
