A Score for an Invisible Orchestra

A Score for an Invisible Orchestra

Imagine a conductor forced to relearn musical notation every time a new instrument joins the orchestra. Violin—one system of writing. Cello—another. Oboe—a third, with reversed polarity, no less. The trumpet flatly refuses to acknowledge the existence of the staff and insists on a tablature of its own invention. Absurd, of course. In the real world every instrument reads the same score. Notes, rhythm, dynamics are universal. Only the technique of execution differs.

MetaAST is that score.
