As part of my return from hiatus I’d like to present to you a new development in my creative efforts. From now on I will be posting art sketches periodically along with articles discussing the relationship between my music and sketches. In later articles I plan on discussing some of my observations and realizations regarding the connections I discovered between the construction of music and the making of a sketch. As production begins to ramp up on a new future album release called “Oscilladrone: Ambient Works,” I figure it’d be a great time to talk about both subjects. And just out of curiosity I want to see if anyone else can see a connection between my music and sketches that I’m missing, perhaps a sense of humor, attention to detail, color or emotional tones, a playful approach, or some other quality.
[Note: I’ve found that in order to sketch architecture
versus life forms requires very different mind sets. With architecture you must
be very meticulous with your lines and proportioning or else you’ll get
buildings and urban landscapes that look like they’re bending, smaller or
larger than they really are, or shrinking the distance between your art object
and the horizon far in the field of vision. In contrast, human figures whether
they be shadows in the distance, faces, nudes, or human body postures such as
sitting, standing, dancing, swimming or walking require much more attention to
the shape of human anatomy, proportion, and the capturing of emotion or human
life force. With practice, I’ve found that the number of mistakes I make is
greatly reduced as well as the number of lines required to form the shape of
the image I’m attempting to communicate. Employing simple and very few lines was
one of the highest goals I wanted to achieve when I first began learning to
sketch.]
At some point I'll have to figure out how to best organize the sketches for easy reference. I may also eventually offer a short digital sketchbook as a FREE download for promotional purposes and a larger edition for sale. Granted while finding time to produce new music as well as
new sketches will be tough, it is possible with good time management. With
that, here are the first series of sketches in, what I plan to be, a long line of
releases to be shared over time for your viewing pleasure. So for now check these out and
feel free to let me know what you think by adding a comment below.
