Here is what I watched as I drew with wax crayons on white paper and listened to Franz Schubert‘s „unfinished symphony“. In the bright morning light I chose a brilliant red, blue, yellow, green and pink. I used them to draw a kind of handwriting. The strong rhythm of the music can be seen in the drawing. But there was no correspondence between the ‚letters‘ and the melody. So I put clouds-like patches between and under the ‚letters‘. To dramatic phases of the music I responded with a bundle of nervous lines in the lower left corner. In my opinion, the result shows that neither the music nor the drawing predominate, but a mixture of visual and acoustic elements.
