In 2009 QUADERNS D'ÀUDIO unearthed a series of previously unpublished graphic scores, which the Valencian composer Llorenç Barber had created in Yokohama (Japan) in 2005. American composer, improviser and sound artist Joel Peterson performed them live at INCA, Detroit, in January 2012. We talked to him about the challenges of graphic notation and other related issues.

Joel Peterson is a musician, composer, sound artist based in Detroit, MI. Peterson's work encompasses many styles and traditions –free improvisation, through composed art music, ethnic folkloric, rock, experimental, jazz and early music. As a composer, he developed his craft by seeking composers and musicians whose work he admired, starting with locals like Faruq Z. Bey and Frank Pahl, and engaging in practical music making with them. His work with his ensembles, collaborators and guest appearances can be heard on dozens of CDs, LPs and cassettes, on independent labels like Qbico, Sagittarius A Star, Edgetone, Schoolkids Records, Phonetic Records, Acidsoxxs Musicks and others.
