Wai-te-ata Music Press

This new anthology of New Zealand graphic scores has been professionally designed and typeset by Anna Brown of OpenLab (Massey University). It covers a wide array of graphically-oriented musical scores. This booklet is accompanied with an audio CD of selected performances and a CD-ROM collection of digital files. A full ‘boxed set’, which includes hard copies of all scores, can be found here.

There are 20 composers represented, with works ranging from 1967–2010, including a rare ‘visual score’ by Douglas Lilburn of The Return.

Crossovers with other artforms are numerous: poet Cilla McQueen is well represented, while visual artist Michael Smither has a number of ‘compositions’ included.
