drawn to… Original BGM by Haruomi Hosono (detail)

I was looking for a piece of music to draw to—something I hadn’t heard before—when I came across Original BGM by Haruomi Hosono. I believe this track is from a 1981 album by Yellow Magic Orchestra. It was only after I finished the drawing that I realised this music was made by the same guy who made Watering a flower 1984 cassette (花に水) – one of my favourite discoveries of the past few years.

I made this drawing blind using a sharpened HB pencil on a 21x21cm square piece of 250g/m2 acid free Clairefontaine paper. See more drawings from my drawn2music series on Instagram.
