The latest issue of Improvised Music - Open Scores journal is now available online. It again focuses strongly on graphic notation and, as usual, contains both essays and pieces themselves:

Today's #cardsForMusic entry is DEX 3D, a cool, very musical piece played in #3Dglasses. It's structured around imagined timestamps and every #card is a small #openScore for #improvisation.

It is by the #composer Dennis Bathory-Kitsz, who just joined at @kalvos :)

I realize this is just me, sitting here asking a bunch of professionals to do free work, but I wish there was some kind of Open Source Orchestra, that took sheets from #Openscore and recorded their music in high quality lossless and made it available under a Creative Commons license.
#MuseScore wants to raise money for their #OpenScore project to take public domain scores by dead, famous (european) composers and put them into the musescore format. Presumably all of these scores are available as PDF, so I don't really see what's gained by moving them to this particular format?

I feel like this plays into the Genius Composer model, where all the geniuses are Dead White European Men #DWEM, but maybe there's some utility I can't see?

If you're into the idea, their fundraising page is here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/openscore/openscore-join-the-sheet-music-revolution
