There is a wonderfully rich and complex intertwining of
drawing/image-making and music/sound, forming a rhizome that comprises (but
is not limited to) traditional European musical notation, graphic scores,
scientific sound analysis, contemporary and modern art, dance and digital
imaging techniques.

Graphic music notation is often associated with composers of the 50’s and
60s such as John Cage, Alison Knowles, and Cathy Berberian, but it has also
moved into contemporary art practice with artists such as Samson Young’s Sound
Drawings that consider the banality of the sounds of conflict; or Christine
Sun Kim’s large-scale drawings which question how sound operates in
society. Other forms of technical drawing have been used to portray sound
as a means of analysis (the front cover of Joy Division’s Unknown Pleasures
(1979) album, for example) with contemporary digital drawing of sound such
as wave form visualisations and spectral analysis becoming part of an
established ‘look’ of sound.

As well as the material explorations of mark making and sound, contemporary
theory also draws on this relationship. Gilles Deleuze and Pierre-Félix
Guatarri’s A Thousand Plateaus (1987) starts with an illustration of
Sylvano Bussoti’s score for Five Pieces for Piano for David Tudor before
discussing assemblages and lines of flight. Henri Lefebvre's Rhythm Analysis
(1992) looks at the ‘verticality-horizontality’ of written music as a
spatial expression of sound and Salome Voegelin explores the relation
between voice and hands in her recent book Uncurating Sound (2023).

This special issue seeks to initiate a contemporary survey of the
multiplicity of ways of working between drawing and sound and invites
contributions from all disciplines and fields of research and practice that
investigate, expand, and complicate these relationships, as well as those
that propose new ways of exploring drawing and sound. The issue will be
accompanied by an exhibition/performance of work and contributors are
invited to propose scores and performances alongside their submissions.

Drawing: Research, Theory, Practice places particular emphasis on original
papers on drawing theories, practices, methods, processes, and research
that adopt inventive interpretations of drawing. Papers should not be under
consideration by other publications.

   -

   -

   Research Projects or Project Reports (3000 words, 1–4 images)
   -
