‘Drawing towards Sound: Visualising the Sonic’
March 25th 6.30, pm, Cornelius Cardew: Treatise (complete), Crit Pit, Stockwell Street Building
(Note: pre-booking is essential, please see link below)
Cornelius Cardew, a charismatic and vibrant force in the formation of experimental music in the UK, worked on his mammoth graphic score, Treatise, throughout the early 1960s. Inspired by Wittgenstein, it proposes a complete world of graphic events that develop and mutate with their own inner logic. This is a rare opportunity to hear a realisation of the whole piece performed by a specially assembled large group of players. Treatise remains a challenge, a musical entity that questions and interrogates the relationship between score and sound.
