On Chandler and Dickow Play Fischer, David Chandler and Paul Dickow treat Marcus Fischer’s graphic scores as a lab problem rather than a script, using tracing paper, chalk, piezo styli, EEG data and a 1970s modular synth to probe what it means to “play” an image without simply projecting themselves onto it.

In January 2024 Marcus Fischer invited musicians to perform interpretations of graphic musical scores. For David Chandler and Paul Dickow this highlighted an essential challenge of graphic scores: without a top down schema given by the composer, what is the basis for the performer’s interpretation? Can a musician realize the graphic score musically with little to no imposition of subjectivity? Armed with tracing paper, chalk, piezo styluses, EEG brainwave readers, and a modular synthesizer from the 1970s, Chandler and Dickow translate Fischer’s score in radically unconventional ways.
