‘Nonsense Note’ is a collaborative sound making project based on a music composition I wrote in an intuitive way, in which the “artist’s self” of being a composer writing the score is not at the center of the art making process. Musicians are invited to instinctively transform the notes into sound.
As a person who doesn’t have any appropriate music education and studies contemporary visual art, I see myself as an intruder who doesn’t follow any rules of music writing and makes nonsense music representations. Through cooperating in distance with international musicians and local Dutch bands in forms of live performance, the original score has turned into various sound interpretations and the kinship has been slowly building up in the working and sharing process between me as the intruder and people who have proficiency in playing music .
