Noise for Airports

Vibrations and how they get to your ears.

Noise for airports is a blog about culture, sound, music, and technology.

You can filter the posts to see just things I wrote or made.

Marco Fusinato’s Mass Black Implosion works are gorgeous drawing on top of the scores to avant-garde musical pieces. By connecting all the notes to an arbitrary central point, he makes incredibly dynamic figures (check out the gallery to see his drawings on some more unconventional scores).
The notes suggest that these new scores might be used as the basis for improvisational play, upending the “expectation-frustrating dynamics of the academic avant-garde” with “the energy and volume of rock.” Now, I’m one of those people who finds the academic avant-garde more exciting than frustrating (easy to do when I don’t have to deal with them face to face, I guess), but regardless of the notes, these drawings are fantastic.
