'Colour & Harmony': Drawing Sound and 'Soundscapes'

Before actually exploring colour through sound, I attempted to look into form of sound. This was done by drawing what I referred to as 'soundscapes'. Putting a pencil to paper, I drew higher as I felt the music was increasing in volume and/or intensity. In some cases, I tried to isolate different types of instruments and determine their volume and intensity separately. Although the results were inspired by the scientific approach to monitering sound, this was heavily based on just guessing how the sound 'works'.

'Welcome to Gallowmere; Philharmonic Orchestra of the City of Prague'
'Xibir; Dimmu Borgir' (incomplete)

Although it is probably difficult to see how the lines go for the most part on Welcome to Gallowmere..., I attemoted to use the separate 'sounds' to create abstract landscapes. It may be worth re-attempting this, using accurate digital representations.
