I am so pleased I got to see this. It was like nothing I've ever experienced before. I read music myself so was really intrigued to see how a graphic score could possibly translate. The performances really moved me and at times the musicians created such a huge wall of sound I could physically feel it in my body. I was lucky enough to meet one of the musicians afterwards; vocalist, Elaine Mitchener. She was so inspiring. I wanted to know what came first, the graphic score or the music. She said that all the scores are created by different musicians and what the group performed that night was part improvisation part rehearsed, and that no two performances are ever the same.
