What is "Drawing Sound Performance/Drawing Line Music"?

In this performance, which defines "the act of drawing is the act of performing", the "line" derived from the drawing action always plays a "sound" and the "sound" is always established as a "line". Here, sight and hearing are linked, and they are connected to the bodily behavior (i.e., touch) of rubbing objects against each other, resulting in a borderless and comprehensive experience.

Also, unlike ordinary music, in which the sound played disappears, the "sound" here deposits time on paper, so when you look at the result of the drawing, you can relive not only the trajectory of the drawing act but also the "sound" played.

When there are many layers of sedimentation, the past is overlaid and obscured, but confronting such a picture can be compared to the experience of being confronted with ruins.

Just as the word "hearing" has been applied to the attitude of trying to sense and discern invisible, minute changes in the traditional Japan culture, eg. "listening to incense" and "listening to sake," in this performance we aim for a new sensation of "listening to the line" like "listening to sound" and a comprehensive "hearing" that transcends these boundaries.
