Author’s Note: When I was working on Occasion in the Mosaic Distance, I wanted to make the printing of each copy something that I had to make adjustments for. So I cut up a bunch of sheet music I bought from a library sale and started making the cuts with some idea of how my type would print out over the music. What I got were a bunch of underlines and crossouts and blends and font clashes like you see in the eye doctor’s office. It made the printing a lot of work. I had to stand over my printer and hand feed every sheet to make something interesting. The flat stuff I just put in a pile for future use. But I liked about three out of every ten sheets that were made this way. About midway through the printing, I started to see a kind of punctuation repeating itself, where musical notes would intersect some oversized character in my type and come out looking like a figure or become indecipherable.
