Sylvano Bussotti is an Italian composer and visual artist whose graphic scores treat the printed page as a site of aesthetic invention rather than musical instruction. His experimental notation dissolves the boundary between composition and visual art, integrating visual design directly into performance practice. Emerging from the postwar avant-garde, Bussotti's unconventional approach to the score itself has positioned him as a central figure in experimental music and intermedia art.
