This article is an introduction to the graphical impetus in the music of Kenneth Hesketh (b. 1968), from around 2012 to the present day, including his recent work, Viae (2020). Through examination of Hesketh's graphical control of a number of musical parameters, the article will demonstrate that the idea of a ‘musical ekphrasis’ can be extended through the incorporation of spatial aspects in determinate music to result in what the author deems a graphical ekphrasis. Whilst in no way exhaustive in its exploration of Hesketh's multi-parametric approach to composition, the article provides an analysis of selected compositional methodologies relating to both composition design and audience communication, situating them alongside other contemporary musical examples and trends.

迷宫、极限和 EKPHRASIS：肯尼斯·赫斯凯斯音乐中的图形动力

本文介绍了 Kenneth Hesketh（生于 1968 年）从 2012 年左右至今的音乐中的图形动力，包括他最近的作品，维亚埃（2020 年）。通过检查 Hesketh 对许多音乐参数的图形控制，本文将证明“音乐 ekphrasis”的概念可以通过在确定的音乐中结合空间方面来扩展，从而产生作者认为的图形 ekphrasis。虽然在探索 Hesketh 的多参数作曲方法时绝不是详尽无遗的，但本文提供了对与作曲设计和听众交流相关的选定作曲方法的分析，并将它们与其他当代音乐示例和趋势放在一起。
