The Visual Articulation of 'Artikulation'



Created in 1970, this is the non-traditional musical notation by Rainer Wehinger of György Ligeti’s Artikulation, a seminal piece of early electronic music from 1958. Wehinger's musical notation "used a timeline measured in seconds, and used shapes and colors instead of notes on a staff. He used dots for impulses and combs for noise... (and) different colors to represent variations in timbre and pitch."

Thanks Mark Seggie.
