I approached the graphic score in an improvisatory fashion based on the number six that seemed to be significant in the number of circles and triangles in the center-right area of the score. I chose woodblocks and kick-drum to represent the circular objects on the page, and cymbals to represent the more angular lines present on the page. I chose to start the piece with the center-right cluster of circles and triangles as a rhythmic tightly structured improvisation. Gradually, the piece becomes more ambient and pointillist as I attempt to interpret the objects surrounding the center-right figure and ending wth the peripheral objects. In several instances I chose to interpret the score in as literal a fashion as possible. (e.g. A bowed cymbal punctuated by a woodblock at the end to represent a line with a spot at the end of it. Also, the small cluster of very small dots I represent with paperclips cascading off the edge of a cymbal and onto woodblocks.)
