Graphic musical scores

Graphic musical scores evolved in the 1950s and 1960s. "A common aspect of graphic notation is the use of symbols to convey information to the performer about the way the piece is to be performed." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_notation). You can see examples here: http://www.theguardian.com/music/gallery/2013/oct/04/graphic-music-....

I am hoping there might be some musically-minded artists (being a musician is not essential, but the desire to make good music is) who would be interested in creating and exchanging graphic scores. Scores can include some traditional notation or none at all. Ideally, it would be great if the scores could be performed and recorded and shared with the original composer. You would be free to specify instrumentation--just keep in mind that musical resources would limit playability, so keeping instrumentation more general would better ensure that your piece would be performed as specified.
