Blog Post: generate 1/2 listening text scores in a blog post.

for these scores, I am inspired by Pauline Oliveros and her works. Specifically her 2013 book Anthology of Text Scores. “The Anthology of Text Scores includes countless examples of Oliveros using simple ideas to produce works that incite profound experiences for performers and audiences in all stages of choosing, performing and listening to the piece. All that is required is sincere engagement by all participants.” Arms, J. M. (2014.)

listening text scores are calm instructions. they advise on things to do to be more in tune with the world and your body. below is a book by Yoko Ono, Grapefruit, which is full of listening text scores.

My text scores:

Listen to the earth rumble and shake through the floor. record it and feel it in your soul.

Hear the sound of your mattress in the morning, listen until noon.
