Animated Notation

Animated Notation is a predominately graphic notation for music that engages the dynamic characteristics of screen media. [1] A work of animated notation can be said to be any score for music performance that contains perceptibly dynamic characteristics essential to the symbolic representation of the compositional idea.[2] It usually takes the form of a 'Screen-score'[3], which can consist of one or more photographic images, film or graphic user interface usually put into motion by way of software on a computer[3]. However, some animated notation pre-dates computing, with precedents in musical games, visual music and the Fluxus movement. Animated notation is often characterised by abstract graphics (avoiding images, symbols or pictograms with an inherent meaning) that are put into motion for music notational purposes, and manifest as fixed media.[4](Christian Fischer 2015),

Animated notation can be generative, interactive, prescriptive, or descriptive[5]. The notation often uses computer programs and applications to create scores or mechanisms for reading them. It has been discussed in recent books such as Thor Mangnusson's 'Sonic Writing:Technologies of Material, Symbolic, and Signal Inscription'[6] and Craig Vear's 'The Digital Score'[7]' and is covered in many papers as part of the TENOR: International Conference on Technologies for Music Notation and Representation series.
