soundscape - raw

2026 Drawing the texture of sound
soundscape - raw by Tsuyoshi NAKATOMI

A drawing series that sketches the soundscape of a place, guided by nothing but field-recorded sound.

Letting go of landscapes and emotions to face the sound itself. The recorded sound is re-recorded onto cassette tape to transform its texture, then listened to while sketching by hand, and finished in graphite through dialogue with a pen plotter.
