Over Borders (2021)
Filed under artist publishing | Tags: · borders, graphic score, listening, performance
“This collection began as an idea to share some of our own scores* connected to the act or effects of borders, which we then expanded to include work by others in our creative communities. Artists / composers were asked to send scores that, in some way, referenced borders; social, political, virtual, perceptual, environmental or between species.”
