Scape Realizations is a musical composition in which the performer tries to realize landscape or cityscape for her/himself and/or the listening audience through sounds. The performer will achieve this by utilizing her/his vision of the environment around her/him, i.e. by looking at a greater 'vision-frame' and also reading certain focus-areas. The performer will use her/his surrounding landscape as the score which to play from and create the sounds given through signs and symbols created by the composer. In other words, the composer supplies only general guidelines with colored and shaped symbols which are attached to certain pitches as well as supplying symbols and sings to enable the performer to realize the landscape through sound from which she/he is reading it. In addition the Soundfield (resembling the out-of-sight, Houston as a condition of perpetual motion) should not be followed time wise - it only supplies a platform for the created sounds of the performer."
