Full-Cataloguing
"Darboven creates musical compositions based on mathematical scores, rows of calendar date numerals ( " cross sum calculations of the Century " ), which she then transcribes into music scores then played on organ or violin - a "mathematical" music based on a non-musical logic but with a surprisingly musical beauty to it."
