Music

slippery chicken has been used by Michael Edwards for the creation of numerous compositions since 2000, including works for instrumental ensembles, for fixed audio media ('tape'), and for combinations of instruments and computer/'tape'.

2012 release

A limited edition multiformat release of some of these works is now available to order, download, or listen to online. You can also read the liner notes.

Scores

Michael has used slippery chicken to create scores in Lilypond, Common Music Notation (CMN), and Sibelius (via the import of MIDI files). Here are some examples:

Lilypond: you are coming into us who cannot withstand you
CMN: cheat sheet
Sibelius: altogether disproportionate
