In this lesson, we looked at many examples of graphic scores, both drawn and photographic. My scores were made up of irregular curves, dots and numbers in traditional Chinese characters. My score required four to five instruments to improvise.

I find these graphic scores interesting because it is not like a traditional score where each note has its own prescribed notation. It is very abstract and may have an inner meaning of a story or a poem. I might use graphic scores in my work.

I chose graphic scores for the work I produced later on, and my scores tell the story of the can. The story is about a thirsty man who goes into a shop to buy a drink, and after drinking it on the road, he just throws the can away. The can goes through many things on the road, being stepped on by pedestrians, run over by skateboards and kicked like a ball, but no one picks it up. In the process, the cans are in motion and form a trajectory. Coincidentally the person who discarded the can came across it in another block and this time picked it up and threw it in the trash bin.
