Colpersys:Scorelets

The inspiration for the shapes used in the short Scores (or Scorelets as I call them) is Ougratique, a language from the Mediterranean region from 1500 BCE.  I was drawn to this alphabet through the way the shapes used for many of the letters combine to suggest changes or pauses.

The Ougaratique series of scores is designed with computer based editing in mind, though can obviously be interpreted by instrumentalists.
