DotScore#16 is a graphical music score brought about from an exploration into Number-Form synaesthesia, in particular a recently identified sub-type referred to as Magnitudal-Spatial synaesthesia. Magnitudal-Spatial synaesthesia suggests an innate number-form perception that involves not only the visualisation of numbers mapped into distinct spatial locations, as typically experienced by number-form synaesthetes, but includes non-symbolic magnitudes such as sizes, length, clusters, and even luminance. DotScore#16 brings these non-symbolic magnitudes into play by specifically highlighting the cluster distribution information generated by the image analysis of a photograph taken in the city of Palermo in Sicily as part of a series of musical (photo)graphic scores. The project involves the transposition of architectural space to sound space revealing continuity, connectedness and convergence; something akin to a “Sonic Topology”.
