Partial-Scores (Einarsson)

Partial-scores, as conceptualized in Einar Torfi Einarsson's chapter in Decentralized Music: Exploring Blockchain for Artistic Research (2024, CRC Press, Taylor&Francis), represent notated or inscribed pages that are the foundational units of a novel compositional system. These artifacts, laden with musical graphics, serve as non-linear, decentralized, and multiple representations, indicating an infinite possibility of musical compositions. They emerge from a system that merges digital and physical realms, aiming to explore fluid, non-linear, and participatory musical environments. Partial-scores symbolize a departure from traditional musical notation, embracing a dynamic and ever-evolving approach to music creation and interpretation.
