Blueprint #3: A Deviation for Approximation
November, 2024
iii editions/ Blueprint series
This publication invites you to recreate Maya Verlaak’s artwork A Deviation for Approximation with detailed instructions and links to downloadable material.
A Deviation for Approximation uses the map of a simple cycled route as a musical structure. The initial route can be followed in different locations, the city planning of these new locations creating different variations of the initial map. The compositional process means that one cycled route can become a musical variation of another route. Each city is different, so every time the route is performed, the initial map develops into variations.
