Nothing Implied (2006)<br /><br />Performance Instructions:<br /><br />Each players part compromises 6 groups of text, taken from various UK newspapers on 4 days during August 2006 (the period traditionally known as the silly season). the stories were chosen for their lurid, harrowing or humorous content. Alongside the text is a diagrammatic score, indicating the length of the 6 sections of the piece, punctuated by silence, and some instructions to the players for the selection of their pitch material.<br /><br />The total range of each instrument is divided into three registers: low, medium and high. Within each register the players are free to choose any pitches according to the number specified in the score for each section of the piece (e.g. violin I in section one chooses any five pitches in the high register. Viola in section two chooses any six pitches from all registers, etc)....<br /><br />to continue reading, please go to:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPk7PblKNTs
