Visual rhythms: Exploring dhol sounds through sound drawing

This report presents a case study building upon the methodology outlined in ‘Sound drawing and dhol notation: A methodological approach to visualising drum sounds’ and investigates the outcomes of a novel iteration of the sound drawing activity designed for dhol notation. The study explores the nature of sound drawing to capture the dhol’s intricate auditory landscape, offering a perspective on its tonal complexities. By examining the visual representations generated through this method, the report highlights the potential of sound drawing to enhance the understanding and preservation of the dhol’s sound and musical heritage.
