TOWARDS SOUND is an archive of sketches, drawings, visual notations on music, the creation of sounds and compositions, founded by composer Ruth Wiesenfeld in 2020. These forms of visualisation - beyond conventional notation - create possibilities for alternative communication of ideas and images of creative processes that often, but not always, result in a real music composition. Between the various visual elements used to capture these very first ideas and the actual sound material, a field of tension emerges whose contingent energy tells of the disparate and sometimes contradictory ways in which concepts can be materialised. Not everything that was an idea passes into the aggregate state of sound; some things remain in the visible and follow the laws of visual evidence.
Formally and technically, the works of the 17 international composers are images of heterogeneous individual approaches; it is these very own detours, bridges and mental fire accelerators that allow us to look into the complex process of composing. Texts, diagrams, watercolours, ink, freely oscillating and precisely circled lines: the formal language of musical thought is as varied as the sound world that emerges from it.
