Speaker: Miki Kaneda, Music, Musicology, Boston University

What can graphic musical scores tell us about sounds yet to be heard, as well as the stories that may be told about their creators and their worlds? This talk examines two exhibitions of graphic scores, both held in Tokyo in 1962. Miki Kaneda offers a historical perspective on the role of graphic scores in locating Japan as a meeting place for a transnational avant-garde.

Faculty host: Andrew Campana, Asian Studies
