THE MAX MAESTRO is an animated music notation system created within the artistic research project VOICES OF UMEÅ by composer Anders Lind. By using simple animated graphics presented on a screen, instead of a complex notated score the main idea was to enable a crowd of common people without score reading knowledge to perform a complex music composition, synchronized with an electronic music part and with very limited rehearsal time.
During the workshop THE MAX MAESTRO will be presented and finally tested with a performance of PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER for handclapping crowd (24-2400 people) and electronics.
