Animated Graphic Score

Dublin based Jazz pianist Johnny Taylor's interpretation of animated graphic score 'Three for Four' by Shane Mc Kenna. Johnny was recorded performing three separate takes, each time interpreting a different section of the score.


Shane has been trying to explain his graphic scores to me for a while now, so I'm happy to have finally seen one. There are more of these truly amazing pieces here.

More Old Work...

In the video piece untitled(60mins) I attempted to balance on the back legs of a chair for one hour. Many attempts were made with the majority ending with me falling backwards and crashing to the ground. On a few occasions I managed to balance for what seemed like a few minutes (although I've never actually timed it) only to fall violently to the floor. There is no sound to the video so the crashes are silent.
