Scores
You can download the Abe Sada Songbook Vol.1 (2005-2009) here. This is a collection of text scores for any number of bass players.
Many of Cat’s scores use a score player that runs on a laptop. As hard copy they have large dimensions.. The reader was created in MaxMSP by Linsday Vickery and you need Runtime to use it. If you would like to perform one of Cat’s scores, and need a full copy with the player, contact her direct. For now, there are some ‘movies’ of the scores below.
