Abstract
This chapter discusses a few perspectives on the relations between drawing and music creation. Starting with the dynamic relations between composers and performers through notation and editorial problems, I discuss some examples of my own practice as a composer—a set of works that illustrate how different compositional graphic methods led to the conception of multilayered scores, that encompass landscape, urban or architectural features. These approaches led to the creation of Peça com Vista (2019) where the idea of sonic imagination triggered by images of an urban view is central. While trying to overcome simplistic dualisms so much present in past discussions about notation, graphic scores, performance and indetermination, this text aims to contribute further to the reflection, development and unfolding of more diverse practices of music making based on an ever-expanding territory of notational devices.
