FEATURES:
SOUND KOANS / GRAPHIC SCORES / GRAPHIC NOTATION
Considered by some as Sound Koans, Randy Raine-Reusch's graphic scores are an expression of his Taoist / Zen approach to contemporary music.  Some of these graphic scores are for specific instruments, performers, or ensembles, while others are quite general.  Many contain elements of improvisation, and references to extended listing or the soundscape. If you would like copies of these scores, they are available for loan from the Canadian Music Centre, or for purchase from Randy Raine-Reusch directly. This list is regularly updated.
