Banjo / washboard tie
Never Seen (unreal objects) (2012) for small ensemble Nicholas Martin
The tempo is free for the performer to decide between the following metronome markings: x = 32 / 64 / 96 / 118 / 150 / 182 / 224 Performance notes: Each instrument has between five and seven fragments, in total, to play during the piece. These fragments can played in any order ad libitum (literally 'according to pleaure'). Similarly, some of these fragments are divided into a number of still smaller sections, often only single notes, and are indicated by dotted barlines. These smaller sections can also be played in any order, ad lib. as the performer so wishes. Text in parentheses is optional, indicating that there is a choice between another possibility (if not provided, then left free for the performer). An arrow between techniques indicates a gradual transition / transformation abbreviations: espr.

The material given to the performer is simply a guide aiding in a 'semi improvisation'. The following list of words, although not technically useful, may give some indication of the character / atmosphere of the piece: Dark reds, purples, browns, greens, greys, black, fluorescent blue Soft, solid, shattered, rough, smooth, fluid, vaporous Unfamiliar, lonely, anxious, helpless, lost, overwhelmed, trapped As for general advice to musicians, use of pauses (ie. silence) is essential. Approximate duration of one part (both being roughly identical in lenght): c. 35 mintues This is a transposed score
