The idea of Emoji Symphony came up when I was watching the Guitar Orchestra of Glenn Branca in NY. During the concert Branca directed and watched at all times a device that looked like a mobile ... I thought it would be funny that he was receiving directions via WhatsApp or some app to conduct the piece. If Branca received messages while he directed or not, I thought that more than text, a piece could be directed through the interpretation of emojis.
Emoticons - emotion-icon - are graphic elements that express emotions.
The emoji score can be interpreted musically and can be open to interpretations: what is a happy note? And so following the indications in the score.
e.g. Legato from a happy note 😀 to a sad one 😔, Unicorn 🦄 can be a vibrato in the string section ... etc.
The Emoji Symphony is going to be performed by some musicians (Celo, Flute and Piano) TBA.
