a part of the score by Elena Rykova. in Rykova words:“Since 2015, I draw my scores by hand. With the piece 101% mind uploading, I started my research on graphic notation. Since then, I obsessively draw figures, symbols, music signs, sometimes ornaments and pictures. Whatever might be necessary to represent the idea of the piece, whatever it calls for - I immediately draw it on paper. In this way, my scores communicate the essence of their worlds from the very first glance on them. As the sound world of each piece is different, each score of mine has its own face as well. I don't like to repeat ideas, that's why each time I invent new visual language. In some ways, my scores can be connected, as sometimes I use similar symbols, but, for instance, in such pieces like Life expectancy. Experience #1. The Sun (2016) or ...#2. The Moon (2016), the notational language stays unique.”
