Rorschach Experiments for bassoon and piano
​by Sally Lamb McCune

Bassoonist Christin Schillinger and composer Sally Lamb McCune present an audience-centered experience, Rorschach Experiments for bassoon and piano. Hermann Rorschach developed a method in 1921 to assess perception. Subjects were shown ten symmetrical inkblots and asked to identify each. In Rorschach Experiments, McCune and Schillinger explore aural perception. Each movement of Rorschach Experiments is a musical interpretation of one of Rorschach’s inkblots – though McCune does not disclose the images used. Rorschach’s ten original images are shown below.

Which images do you associate with each movement?
How do your selections align with others?
Can you hear differing viewpoints?
Does your personal perception change as you do? 

Music unites -not in a common experience, but a shared one.
​“It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.”
– Audre Lorde
