... the project was a very interesting challenge for me. the following is what i experienced –
i hope this will also shine some light on my drawing.
i was used to draw ‘to’ music.
music / sound can be a great inspiration and a powerful ally....

{ resume — begin of 2nd session dezember 2013 }
{ vicious cycle — 1x }
{ vicious cycle — 2x }
in my fist drawing session my lines were exploring the space and abstraction.
i tried not to be too figurative
beginning the 2nd session i felt that i wanted an interpretation / creation that is abstract and figurative
( because that’s me ) — and relate to each other.
2x – means that each abstact figure is the track ‘vicious cycle’ from beginning to end.
{ vicious cycle — listen }
—————————————————————————
{ vicious cycle — 2x }
{ vicious cycle composition set — 1x }
this time i was drawing the whole ‘vicious cycle’ set
( vicious cycle — the chase — end theme ).
like in the previous drawings, i wanted a relation / connection between my single creations of the tracks — because, if i listen to the whole set – even if it are single tracks –
the set creates a strong connection between the tracks; they become one.
{ vicious cycle composition set — 1x }
here you see the whole ‘vicious cycle’ set
( vicious cycle — the chase — end theme )
( vicious cycle — the chase — end theme )
but with a different approach:
first, like in the previous post, i was drawing direct to the sound;
but after the music stopped, i didn’t stop — i was drawing till i felt the picture was complete.

{ vicious cycle composition set — 2x }
this is the last piece of my second session.
i am exploring the use of different pens for the tracks.
i was 2x listening to the whole ‘vicious cycle’ set
( vicious cycle — the chase — end theme ) —
i was 2x listening to the whole ‘vicious cycle’ set
( vicious cycle — the chase — end theme ) —
on the first round i used different black pens;
while listening and interpeting the second time i used the blue pen to ‘add’ connections and magic (^_____^).

i would like to explore further — maybe i will add a 3rd session.
