The Scores Project presents 11 works or projects initiated between 1953 and 1975, that used scores within their realisation, their dissemination, their presentation, or their documentation. These scores are accompanied by contextualising essays and digitised copies of printed, audio, and video material in a web environment that mixes archive, essay collection, anthology and exhibition. Each key work is represented by multiple items including photographs, video clips, notebooks, correspondence, publicity materials, as well as drawings, notations, diagrams, instructions and other forms by which the score is presented.
The publication [aims] to find better ways to share and educate audiences about these complex and untidy works. These are works that in library or conservation terms involves bits of paper, cards, grainy video recordings, notes and sketches. Digital technology and an online platform allow readers and viewers to engage with these in new ways, and to encounter them in the context of framing essays and scholarship.
