Musical Transliteracies ‘ Literate’ musicians read 5-line lattice notation, whereas ‘illiterate’ musicians (the majority) do not Digital musicians work directly with sounds (rather than notes) whereas traditional musicians work with instruments (including the voice) Some musicians start from pitch (e.g. classical, folk) Some musicians start from rhythm (e.g. rock, pop) Some musicians start from timbre (e.g. electronic, technological) In digital music, though, it doesn’t matter where you start!
