A handwritten musical score with annotations and corrections, featuring musical notes and symbols on staff lines, with various dynamic markings and articulations. There are lines connecting different parts of the score, suggesting revisions or relationships between the musical phrases. The bottom of the page includes a signature and the title "Piano Concerto #2."
A graphic score titled "MATA CHANT" by Meredith Monk, featuring a series of musical notations with unconventional symbols and lines representing pitch and rhythm on a staff. The score includes geometric shapes, such as triangles and zigzag lines, with some traditional musical notes and annotations indicating vocal sounds like "ah." The image also contains the artist's signature and edition number at the bottom right.
A printed artwork featuring a poem titled "Matter in Mountains" with text by Zen Master Dogen. The poem is presented in a handwritten style with certain words and lines heavily struck through, creating a visual emphasis on the theme of mountains being both present and obscured. The paper has horizontal lines, and the artist's signature is visible at the bottom right corner. The piece is numbered as an edition at the bottom left.
