Maybe you are a big fan of Sonic Youth like I am, maybe you're not - I don't know. Since I am always excited about a new SY project, I decided to review their new Geffen CD, "NYC Ghosts & Flowers" by using little mathmatical diagrams only. I will try to convey how each song sounds and the way it progresses using only lines and drawings and directional charts and stuff like that. I'll try to show how the song is constructed so that maybe someone who doesn't know the music could look at my charts and play the song by just using that. It's all up for interpretation. A lot of "freaky" composers like Karlheinz Stockhausen and John Cage have put their compositions down on paper in this way. Images might take a while to load (I wanted to keep them their original size)
All charts by ME!
