The Graphical Sound event provides exactly what its name suggests: on this occasion, our expert musicians will focus on the relationship between music and graphical design and drawings. It is no secret that for centuries, music has provided inspiration to creators blessed with talent in the visual arts, which is why we will discuss both the ability of music to create visual images and the various ways in which music can inspire a wide array of visual displays. The creation of graphical sounds has its own story to tell, and we can look forward to an insight into its landmark moments. Graphic scores represent a special chapter in the history of music, one that takes us on a straight path from popular experimentations of genre to graphically produced music and media works, some of which you will encounter at this event. Sounds that can be described and drawn - theoretical knowledge is of course followed by practical testing in the interactive space that surrounds the audience with quadrophonic sound. We often say that if a picture could speak, what a story it could tell! But what about if a drawing really does produce sound? As part of a rich and varied programme, we will see how sounds can navigate spatial fields, not to mention some unique visual instruments!
