Rumor is a musical exploration that delves into the realm of rumors – the subtle whispers, the cascading flow, and the transformative nature of information as it traverses through human interaction. This piece seeks to encapsulate the essence of rumors, utilizing graphic notation as a vehicle to convey the fluidity, ambiguity, and evolving nature of these often-mischievous whispers.
Through the absence of traditional musical notation and the employment of graphic scores, Rumor encourages performers to interpret and communicate the essence of rumors in a non-linear, imaginative, and open-ended manner. The score consists of visual cues, symbols, shapes, and patterns that prompt the musician(s) to respond intuitively, embracing spontaneity and allowing for creative interpretation.
