Ocular Scores
Visual design and software creator
An Ocular Score is a visual musical score drawn using data generated from the analysis of complex sounds.
Ocular Scores will allow documentation of sounds that have never been reliably notated before.
Ocular Scores can also be used as a teaching tool for notating extended technique and for young musicians to practice and learn these new techniques with the help of a feedback image of the sound they produce.
Ultimately, the outcome of this project will be creative tool for composers who wish to push the boundaries of expression for instrumentalists.
