Notation as Protocol
	notation - instructions / tools for realizing an experience - an artifact
		composition
		performance notes
		context in life of composer
		genre
		must be decoded
	realization - generating an experience from a notation - an action
		performer's relationship to composer, composition, audience
			encompasses a kind of acting
		realities of performance space
		"aura"
		cannon
	experience - ineffable
notation points to the space of 'legal' realizations
	uncountably many
notation relates to, but is not, a realization of the same idea
	demuxed from each other
	makes transmission possible
	a notation can be an action-
		oral history
		solkattu
	a realization can be an artifact-
		musique concrete
		'pop' musics
realization can be equivalent to its notation
	concrete poetry
score as encoding
	allows for multiple decoded forms
	the idea lives on
		(...if it has legs)
	how do we communicate the 'source' of the idea?
	retrofit scores - distilation from experience
the inherrent collaboration between experiencer, realizer, notator
