The score of "I Glory Infinitely In The Ivory Trinkets" notably departs from conventional musical notation through its use of concentric squares and polygons that dynamically morph in shape. Each shape’s alteration in the score does not merely represent a change in pitch or rhythm but suggests a transformation in playing technique or emotive expression. This approach mirrors the broader shifts in contemporary art where the boundaries between different mediums and messages are increasingly blurred, emphasizing process and perception as much as the final artistic output.
Dynamic Relationship Between Code and Image
The entropic progression of shapes within the score highlights another critical aspect: the dynamic relationship between code (the written instructions) and image (the visual representation). For the performer, interpreting this score involves understanding a complex 'code'—not just in terms of musical notes but in decoding the symbolism embedded within shifting geometric figures. This requires a grasp of how theoretical and visual elements inform one another. It places questions of intention, automation, and artistic subjectivity into the spotlight.
