Möbius open score for spatialized chamber ensemble

Jordan Nobles ABOUT THE PIECE Möbius is an open score piece composed for variable instrumentation and duration. It was commissioned by The Blueridge International Chamber Music Festival and premiered in Vancouver on July 29, 2015.

DURATION: Möbius is a 1 minute loop which should continue for 6 - 12 minutes, or whatever duration is desired. PERFORMANCE NOTES Möbius has no parts, all musicians read off of the score. There is no pulse, tempo, measures or exact synchronization. The piece is coordinated by timers only (stopwatch or phone or clock, etc.).

INSTRUCTIONS • Möbius is made of numerous looping systems or ‘strips’. Musicians perform the notes, independently, on any

strip they wish. They can repeat the same strip over and over again or jump at any time to a different strip. • any strip can be repeated or ignored and need not be performed in any specific order • the duration of the piece is variable but should probably be decided on ahead of time • the numbers above the notes indicate the timing of when the note is to be performed. It corresponds to the

second the note should be played, no matter what minute or strip it is on. For instance a B with a 37 above it should be played at 0’37” and/or 1’37” and/or 7’37” etc. This can be approximate.

• players can pause at any time to breathe and to listen before proceeding • all notes should be soft and quiet throughout the piece • all notes can be performed in any octave desired as long as they are still performed quietly • there are always two notes written together, they can be performed together harmonically or melodically or the

performer may choose just one note to perform; ignoring the second one.

• intervals can be inverted whenever desired. For example: can also be

• the notes or intervals can be performed in any number of ways. For example:

as long tones of 4-8 seconds:

as pulses: as melodic intervals:

or as smooth trills:
