LINE TONES

A project with artist Anna Chapman

Consider the relationship between drawn lines and sound, there are some very simple analogies: the upward direction of a line, for example, is used almost universally in graphic notation systems to indicate a rise in pitch. More challenging questions about how line and sound may relate to each other include:

How might the build-up of drawn marks over time be represented sonically?
What relationships might occur between rhythm in sound and drawing?
What about the character of a line ��� smoothness, tension, etc. - and its equivalent sonic quality or timbre?

Our work will explore some of this complexity, and focus on developing the sensitivity and flexibility of our tools for use in audio-visual performance.
