drawn to… New Love Music (continuous mix) by Marta Forsberg

‘Free’ drawing is very meditative. And, in these dark times, I fully recommend it. I also recommend this mini-LP by Marta Forsberg. I discovered her work on Bandcamp about a year ago, and since then I’ve watched a few of her performances on YouTube. It’s all gloriously experimental, but New Love Music is probably one of her most ‘accessible’ recordings – fantastically simple album title too.

I made this drawing blind using a sharpened HB pencil on a 21x21cm square piece of 250g/m2 acid free Clairefontaine paper while listening to New Love Music (continuous mix). Have a listen below.

You can find more of my drawings to music on Instagram. Lastly, below, is a live performance of New Love Music.
