Thank you, that was a really well presented and informative video! It was great to hear the sounds that correspond to each of the examples, which I have previously only seen in books and so I didn't have much of an idea about how they might sound.
Very much enjoyed this video and its antecedent (#3). As a young composer/experimenter of primarily electronic-based sounds, I've naturally turned to graphical notation to help organize my ideas. There's a tendency when working with synthesizers (like my personal Korg MS 20 or other, larger modular systems when I can get my hands on them) to create long, uninterrupted jamming sessions, filled with continuous sounds, not primarily organized in any way. In an effort to try and move past this exploratory phase to devoting efforts to *organizing* these sounds, I've been using small graphical gestures, sketched on staff paper with a brush pen, to keep certain ideas in mind as I record multiple takes of my sonic sources. Your video has given me more ideas on how to approach my sketches; thank you! RIP Spike
Cool and thank you. Ya, that's mostly how I started using graphic notation as well: as a shorthand to keyboard and electronic improvisations. That turned to using it for inside the piano and percussion stuff and then I started to study it more in depth. The second part should be up in a week or so.
This is very interesting. I like this graphic notation thing! makes sense to me as a guitar player/songwriter.....I often scribble similar notes for myself when writing.
Where is 4:51 from? This style appeals to me. I seem to get musical ideas stuck in my head only when I'm a) busy, b) tired, c) around a repetitive noise it's terrible since there's definitely no way to write down ideas in the car, and yet
The graphic right at 4:51 is an old piece of mine called "Out From the Shell" for synthesizers. Here's a link to the piece: ua-cam.com/video/2a5E6zNdyig/v-deo.html If you mean the music just after that, that was a little sketch I made and played just for this video. A few of those fragments will be in a piece someday, if I ever get around to working on it.
No. It's actually one of the pages (the last one) from my very first attempt at graphic notation for a piece of music. It was one of those after-the-fact attempts to notate an improvisation I had done. I have a video that follows the entire score. That page is at the end of the piece. Here's a link to it: ua-cam.com/video/2a5E6zNdyig/v-deo.html
Thanks - and you are welcome. I'm glad it's coming in handy. . . and . . . give those programs a decade or two. It will start with plug ins and then, eventually (if people demand it0 that will become part of most programs.

Good. I thought that would be helpful.

. . . and yes, RIP Spike. I miss him sometimes.
Nice pic. I have that alpha and omega 12”

It's a great shorthand type of writing - and works whether you know how standard notation works or not.
Incredible. Thank you. These sounds sound familiar. Like from films. I always wondered how some things would be notated
Ya, you find a lot of these sounds in sci-fi and horror films.
Thank you for the informative video ! Love the musical examples too :)
You are very welcome. I'm glad you liked it. I just got a new camera (my old one died a few months ago) so I will be making more soon.
Love your work Michel really interesting & inspiring approach to music :) Keep it up man! ^^
Thank you Bill.

Very nice! Where's the image from 8:05 from? Tried to reverse image search it but no results. Is it from one of the books you mention on Part 2?

This was amazing! Thank you so much.
You are very welcome.
Awesome! Keep it up!
I have a music project on this for school this is very informative

this is a great video thanks, it seems interesting how you can't use traditional tools like sibelius to preview the sound of these type of scores

Goob job! :) Keep it up!
Thanks for this
You're welcome. I trust it helped.
RIP Spike. :(
mm i love handwritten notation
Me too. It takes longer for corrections but I think it brings a character to the score.
module brought me here
I trust it was worth the trip.
