drawn to... Sakura by Susumu Yokota

 

I only learned about Susumu Yokota today as a I read a blog post about a live performance of Discreet Music at the Barbican. I made this quick drawing while listening to Saku from the Sakura LP by using 0.5 and 0.7 black Steadler pigment liner pens.

drawn to... imagine naked! by OHYUNG

I made these three drawings while listening to imagine naked! by OHYUNG—a quite brilliant, modern day scrapbook dipped in Discreet Music. It is the kind of thing I can play all day long. It is also the first music tape I have purchased since buying Selected Ambient Works Volume II by Aphex Twin in 1994.

I drew these as a way back into drawing to music. I tried to capture both the scrappy moments of the LP and the featherlight will-o'-the-wisp.

I think I'll return to imagine naked! when the tape arrives.

drawn to... The Inner Garden by Hadley Roe

I made these two drawings using a couple of different 'Creative Artist' graphite pencils while listening to The Inner Garden by Hadley Roe. I'm not sure how I stumbled across her very own special form of uplifting, nostalgic, melancholia, but I'm glad I did.

These drawings just happened as I listened. I made five in all, but these are the only two that 'worked' for me. I may return to this LP and try again.
