‘Turner Piece’ and ‘Metro’ ARE FROM THE INTERPRETATIONS OF SHEET MUSIC BODY OF WORKS AND ARE, LITERALLY, TURNING SHEET MUSIC INTO SHEET MUSIC.
In these works, page turning becomes a musical part, with the timed rustling sounds of the turned paper sheets being integrated into the composition. The arranged page turning parts are writing in a double function to the instrument parts, as such, the performing musician plays two instruments simultaneously.
Page Turning scores are handmade and each have their specific designed paper rustling sound. Tuned as a microtonal instrument.
‘Turner Piece’ and ‘Metro’are commissioned by Sound And Music‘s ‘Embedded’ scheme, for the Apartment House ensemble, directed by Anton Lukoszevieze.

Turner Piece
Monumental landscapes and their micro textures. Impressionistic distant views by Turner, with a few miniature details. The waving of a reed bed with the tiny rustling of dried flower heads. This microtonal delicateness is generated by the rustling paper sounds of turning the pages of the score.

Metro
Sitting in a full carriage in the London underground at rush hour. No one speaks. People are reading their free newspaper. This setting is the inspiration of working with paper page turning. Its wonderful fluttering sound in the abstract geometrical phasing in and out sounds of the metro. Some read casually, some are absorbed. Some take sensational stories to heart, some don’t. All in the rectangular space of the underground rhythms.

Cafe OTO this Thursday
Turner Piece, the new work by composer Jobina Tinnemans will première in Cafe OTO, London on Thursday 22nd October along with two other works by Tinnemans, all performed by the acclaimed Apartment House ensemble and featuring soprano Loré Lixenberg.
Ticket prices are £10 on the door, £8 in advance and £6 for Cafe OTO members. Advance tickets can be ordered here..
“Turner Piece is a unique and fascinating work, which continues Tinnemans’ trademark of using non-musical ‘instruments’ as part of her compositions.
In this piece, the turning of the musical scores followed by the performers actually makes up part of the soundscape she creates. Usually the turning of pages in a classical piece is kept quiet but Tinnemans embraces this sound as part of the piece itself. The scores are printed on different types of paper to create a multitude of aural textures, some musicians will be working from tissue paper, some from brown paper and some from newspaper.
This creates a musical work where impressionistic landscape sceneries of dry grasses in the wind and gentle murmuring shore sea waves are translated and performed by the rustling sounds of the score’s page turning. And because it’s about wide landscapes, she has arranged the Apartment House ensemble into two sub-ensembles, Left and Right, to create a live, organic stereo effect.
Turner Piece is a Sound And Music ‘Embedded’ commission for the 20th jubilee of the Apartment House ensemble, directed by Anton Lukoszevieze.”.

Printing Scores On Tissue Paper
Today the Apartment House ensemble is going to workshop my three new works – ‘Turner Piece’, ‘Apartment House’ and ‘Metro’.
By turning the score’s pages of both ‘Turner Piece’ and ‘Metro’, the sound of paper features as an instrument. I’ve been having a great time going to an art supplies shop listening to their paper qualities.
Printing on tissue paper needs some extra attention.

Turner Piece & Metro
.
Very happy me. I’m working on a composition for paper and strings. The first movement is called ‘Turner Piece’ using the sound of the paper score sheets, sonically referring to abstract landscape sounds and Impressionistic paintings by Turner.
Just now I finished the sketch for a next movement called ‘Metro’ – about the underground newspaper. This is what inspired me in the first place. One time I was sitting in a crowded carriage, no one uttered a single vowel or cough. All you could hear was the rhythm of the train and the rustling of the free newspaper. I was mesmerised.

Beyond thrilled to be experimenting with printing on newspaper, glassine, tissue and tracing film. It looks and sounds fabulous. So much to do. Haven’t even touched the graphics side of it yet. So far all is about functionality only. #turnerpiece

Find it in the phonebook
Oh glory! Ha! I was wondering how to print a score on delicate tissue paper, as relatively thin newspaper paper still seems to be a bit too heavy for the sound that I’m after…. the answer came through the letterbox in the shape of a (new) phonebook, today. Put straight into good use.
It sounds particularly nice pre-crinkled. #turnerpiece
