“DrawSound” is a device that “draws sounds” and “plays pictures.” A special Diamond Touch table identifies the movement used to draw on paper with a brush and transforms the movement into sound so the act of drawing is expressed as sound and a record of the performance is expressed in the form of a picture. This device enables you to experience empirically the “draw sounds” and “play pictures” actions that early 20th century painter Wassily KANDINSKY, modern music composer Iannis XENAKIS, and many other artists have attempted.
