In this ongoing series, I translate music into drawings. Each drawing records impressions of live music made at gigs with a ball-point pen, which I later scan and invert on Photoshop. The descriptions record the musicians, venue and date.

I was inspired by Pauline Oliveros’ definition of aphorisms - “(the ear tells the eye where to look)” - to relate gesturally to sound, notably the collective attunement these musicians carve into silence. They encloak as they engage. It’s a synaesthetic call-and-response to them, a form of listening as playing which I undertake alongside, in free form, out of deep admiration and respect for the music.
