Score: Mechanical Asynchronicity – Mimesis and (non-)repetition through notation and performance

In this article we present Score: Mechanical Asynchronicity through a series of discussions and demonstrations, combining documentation of the work itself and explorations of the issues and ideas with which it engages. We explain the practical context of the project, then discuss the early work and its context in ideas of appropriation and transcription; the use of scores, framed by discussions of mimesis; and lastly a discussion and demonstration of the repetitive, iterative performance process that the project uses. Performances of the work are presented as videos alongside online-specific interactive and concert versions of the work.
