The Scream Notation System

The Scream Notation System is a device I created in order to more accurately analyze the harsh vocals employed in rock and metal music. I wrote this thesis in pursuit of my Master's Degree in Music Theory and Composition. As part of the research I also wrote and recorded a piece entitled “Demonstration” featuring the screams of Hickman Plaissance and myself, Matt Delcambre.
