Abstract #2 (saxophone) by Ramin Roshandel - composer, setarist published on 2019-04-03T20:50:29Z Abstract #2 has been written for either any possible instrument which has five different registers or human voice. In this piece, the horizontal axis represents time (5-second blocks) and the vertical axis is pitch in five different registers. Dynamics have been shown as boxes and each box has a different spectrum of Gray (pale grey to black). Each spectrum is basically the maximum possible dynamic the performer can get to. In other words, if the spectrum is dark black, the performer is allowed to make a dynamic change from the quietest sounds to possible loudest ones. White is reserved for silence.
