Gestural drawing is transposed into an audio signal via the Blind Eye Organ. Using the conductive properties of graphite on paper, wired pencils connect and disconnect an electronic circuit to produce sound. The sound signal performed by drawing is processed as an out of control source sound via various sound machines in real time. The drawn line initiates the pitch, timing, and duration of the sounds and materialises the sound event. The drawing becomes a visual trace of an ephemeral sonic past.
