Vincent Glanzmann
--<°>^.-s-^

The score book --<°>^.-s-^ aims to ignite our sonic imagination. Drummer, sound designer, and multimedia artist Vincent Glanzmann seeks to interweave music, thought, visual art, and performative elements to animate the reader’s perception, as if they were performing the composition for drums themselves. Following the carefully handwritten and hand-drawn pages, we gain an intimate sense of the artist’s perception of the performative experience, which inevitably leads us to create our own. Through the unique combination of precisely placed text blocks and playful, comic-like drawings, the publication creates a compelling tension between seriousness and humor, inviting the reader to be both invested and act as a silent observer.
