Graphic Score for The of the Musicians who Only Play for the Drowning'

By Ricky Romain 2021
I have for many years been influenced musically by the minimalist composers such as Terry Riley, Lee Mont Young, Philip Glass and Steve Reich. In particular the graphic scores of Cornelius Cardew have captured my visual imagination. Within this body of work my intention was to always create a graphic score for my musicians, this is my offering. 180cm x 160cm
