Vickery, L. (2015). An Approach to the Generation of Real-time Notation via Audio Analysis: The Semantics of Redaction. International Computer Music Conference, Denton TX. 
Picture
This paper discusses approach mechanically and conceptually to generation notation in real-time in MaxMSP in the work The Semantics of Redaction. The work uses analysis data to generate scrolling, but conventional looking notation. The issues discussed include scaling and mapping of audio data to visual representation, the formal structure of the work and its relation to the generative processes, semantic principles guiding the notational concept and the development of a performance practice for the work. The intention of the work is to provide a flexible vehicle for a performer to explore audio from the media-world in a near-real-time manner using a recent, topical speech recording as the basis  generative artifact for each performance.

Hope, C., Wyatt, A., Vickery, L. (2015). The Decibel Scoreplayer: Enriched Scores for the iPad. International Computer Music Conference, Denton TX.  
Picture
In 2012 Western Australian new music ensemble Decibel launched a commercially available score reader applica- tion (app) for the iPad, on the iTunes store.1 The Decibel ScorePlayer allows for network-synchronised scrolling of proportional colour music scores on multiple iPads. It is designed to facilitate the reading of scores featuring pre- dominantly non-traditional notation in rehearsal and performance. The Decibel ScorePlayer has recently been further developed to include a range of new func- tions. These include new score models, enhanced instruc- tions delivery, Open Source Communication (OSC) net- work communication and the ability to package audio playback as part of a score file and improved networking protocols. This paper discusses the evolution of these additions and the way they have been driven by, and adopted in, compositions and performances by the ensemble.

Vickery, L. (2015). Through the Eye of the Needle: Compositional Applications for Visual/Sonic Interplay.
Australasian Computer Music Conference, University of Technology Sydney, Aus.
Picture
​This paper explores the relationships between sound and its visualisation, focusing upon the issues of representation and interpretation of music through both performative and machine processes. The discussion proceeds in the context of recent works by the author exploring the representation of sound and musical notation and their relationship to and with performance: murmurs trapped beneath the bark [2014], in nomine tenebris [2014], detritus [2015], trash vortex [2015], acid fury [2015], here, apparently, there was time for everything [2015], between-states [2015], the miracle of the rose [2015], residual drift [2015], ...with the fishes... [2015] and inhabited matter [2015]. Issues examined include: resonification of spectrograms, visualisation of spectral analysis data, control of spatialisation and audio processing using spectral analysis data, and reading issues related to scrolling screen score notation.

Vickery, L. and Goh, T. (2015).​Music Screen-READING: indicative results from two pilot studies.
Australasian Computer Music Conference, University of Technology Sydney, Aus.
Picture
​This paper discusses two pilot studies conducted by Lindsay Vickery and Talisha Goh, Screening the Score: Exploring the Potentials and Limitations of Presenting Music Notation on the iPad and Sight-Reading Polyphonic Musical Textures: a Pilot Eye-Movement Study. Vickery’s experiment sought to investigate the activity of the eyes of musicians while performing a variety of notations and score presentation types from a screen. Goh’s experiment explored sight-reading polyphonic keyboard music containing two, three, four and five voices, at a comfortable pace and with a click-track beat.

Hope, C. and Vickery, L. (2015). The Decibel Scoreplayer - A Digital Tool for Reading Graphic Notation. TENOR 2015, Ircam. Paris. ​
In 2009, the Decibel new music ensemble based in Perth, Western Australia was formed with an associated manifesto that stated “Decibel 
and electronic instruments” [1]. The journey provided by this focus led to a range of investigations into different score types, resulting in a re-writing of the groups statement to “pioneering electronic score formats, incorporating mobile score formats and networked coordination performance environments” [2]. This paper outlines the development of Decibel’s work with the ‘screen score’, including the different stages of the ‘Decibel ScorePlayer’, an application (App) for reading graphic notation on the iPad. The paper proposes that the Decibel ScorePlayer App provides a new, more accurate and reliable way to coordinate performances of music where harmony and pulse are not the primary elements described by notation. It features a discussion of selected compositions facilitated by the application, with a focus on the significance of the application to the author’s own compositional practices. The different stages in the development, from prototype score player to the establishment of a commercialized ‘Decibel ScorePlayer’, are outlined in the context of practice led
investigations.
