MUSICAL MANUSCRIPTS SHOW (SFU GALLERY, ends Jan.30th 1981) The Musical Manuscripts show expresses the visualness of sound. The exhibition shows a variety of drawings, from traditional nota- tion to new, inventive or personal modes of composition. What astound- ed me was the visual appreciation of the pieces. Some were very graph -ic and colourful...even textural.- Many could be labeled as visual Collages, but the fact that they were placed in a musical context was a good surprise. The show illustrates a different drawing eo technique that is an added dimen- p 2 a3 sion to the world of drawing. ant It's a good show that helpe one «2? ne go?
