Partituras gráficas, 2021

This series of drawings were made during the most critical and depressing months of the pandemic, in which working with sound lost meaning. Every day, in a mixture of a stroke ritual and anti-anxiety therapy, I carried out this exercise in composition by drawing the ideas that came to my mind.

I quickly realized that the Cartesian order in my inner ear's graphing alienated my ideas. Then the ink began to sprout like plants from the bottom up or to flow like water from the top to the bottom. And in both cases without prioritizing the right or the left sides.

Without necessarily considering these drawings as graphic scores, I still see them and remember the sounds and emotions that inhabited me in each sketch. I believe it changed my way of conceiving time by imagining its outlines and flows this way. Here is a small selection of the many drawings I made.
