Dialogues2 responds to several visual and aural observations arising from the first workshop. First, that the sound produced by the friction and movement of a pencil or stick of charcoal across the paper support is an overlooked (underheard) bi-product of the act of drawing: a sonic trace that is ordinarily ephemeral and undetermined. One of the aims of the second workshop is to concentrate on, and foreground, the sound of drawing and its permutations (sound as drawing, drawing with sound, and the drawing of sound), and to give it permanence through audio recording. The sound of drawings made by one practitioner will be captured by microphonic pencils (‘pencrophones’) and upon an ‘electro-acoustic drawing board’, passed through a series of analogue and digital sound filters (which will mutate, loop, and sustain the

source) manipulated by another practitioner, and, thereafter, amplified. In so doing, visual drawing is conceived as, also, an aural and performative activity engaged by two participants (in this context, a PhD student and their supervisor). Secondly, the workshop examines the observation that the sound of drawing possesses an indeterminate pitch-melody which can be mapped onto a musical scale. The participants will deploy exercises that test the relationship between the pencil (here, conceived as a musical instrument), sound drawing, and free-form music, in cooperation with other types of musical instrumentation (in this context, a hybrid electric guitar).
