These pieces were created using phonetic text scores of my own invention. To read these text­-sounds as one would read words requires an acceptance of the linguistic syntax involved in creating these fragments. The next step is to mentally or imaginatively translate these text­-sound­-words into word­-sounds, before interpreting an approximation or abstraction of those sounds through an instrument or sound source. To co-­opt the traditional use of the term “sight­-reading”, I refer to this process as "sound­-reading". In this case, the process of sound­-reading translates the written information into a goal for sound creation that the performer subsequently aims to reach.
