DESCRIPTION:
Music Stuff With Spock #8 is part one of a two part look at graphic notation and how it works: how notes are represented by symbols, shapes and lines and a few ways that they are laid-out, like improv., cell notation and frame notation.

I explain a concept or aspect about graphic notation, write and record a short musical example and you get to see the correlation between the symbols and the sounds. The notation examples are all my own other than a few scans of classic 50s scores, and all the pieces are performed by me using a chamber ensemble of: flute, clarinet, melodica, piano, percussion and strings (violin, viola, cello).
