Negative Transcriptions (Nancy Holt's Sun Tunnels, 6-7 June 2021)
ink in pocket-sized notebook of staff paper

An experimental score containing transcriptions made in a thirty-two-page pocket-sized notebook of staff paper over a twenty-four-hour period of time, responding to the changes in sunlight projected through the oculi in Nancy Holt’s Sun Tunnels in the Great Basin Desert in northwestern Utah. The score is unspecified in its manner of realization. It was performed on a vintage electric organ in the performance in the music room: Robert Blatt, Robert Holliday, Sepand Shahab, Mark So at Curtis Berak Harpsichord Services in Los Angeles.
