This project explores the conceptual obliteration of the object and its system through their various definitions. As a material, the guitar serves its purpose as a tool for communicating sounds. Accordingly, those harmonies and scales are both a product and secondary materials of this object. With the aid of programs such as a spectrogram, it is possible for these waveforms to be visualized and broken down. Additionally, each of those harmonics is set within a musical system and its dedicated language for better interpretation. However, these traditional arrangement methods delegate a more confined representation of artistic expression. As exemplified by John Cage’s ‘Notation’ archives, composers worldwide gradually departed from those usual depictions and generated a new language and visual idioms for their personal formulations. Correspondingly, this book is meant to examine a similar approach and dismantling of a single instrument with the employment of diverse mediums in both digital and analog fields.
