Wormwood (2022) - Score Video

The score for Wormwood is inspired by worm tracings in the bark of a tree, photographed in Tasmania in September 2022. It features coloured shapes which represent different overtone pitch sets within an animated graphic score. These are generated in real-time to create a dynamic, interactive performance environment. I worked with programmer Ciaran Frame to create a custom MAX patch that would animate the shapes across the screen at varying speeds and in shifting combinations, creating an action notation with a focus on the physicality and fluid, gestural quality of the bowed overtone techniques. This file is a demo, captured on a screen recording in 2022. Each performance generates shapes in different orders, prompting improvisation.

《Wormwood》的乐谱灵感源自2022年9月在塔斯马尼亚拍摄的树皮虫迹。其包含代表动画图形乐谱（Animated Graphic Score）中不同泛音音高组的彩色图形，这些图形通过实时生成构建出动态交互的表演环境。我与程序员Ciaran Frame合作开发了定制化MAX补丁（MAX Patch），使图形以变速移动与组合变换的方式在屏幕上动画呈现，形成聚焦于弓弦泛音技法（Bowed Overtone Techniques）之身体性、流动性与姿态质感的动作记谱法（Action Notation）。本文件为2022年屏幕录制的演示版本，每次表演会生成不同顺序的图形以激发即兴创作。作曲与设计：Helen Svoboda；乐谱编程：Ciaran Frame
