Attempts to illustrate "music"
Added 2025-09-03 15:45:10 +0000 UTCWhen younger, at certain moments was dealing with extreme fever, I used to hear strange "dream music" when the illness was having its way with me. A few years ago, I tried to capture that feeling while messing around with paint.
Right after this, I made a few surreal sketches, incorporating a "melody of colours" into the bodies of creatures. Here is one.
I then tried to go completely abstract, and tried to illustrate a certain melody without any hints of figures in my art.
Obviously, none of these works are my best, but I just wanted to share them with you. Did you also ever hear music when ill - and/or tried to capture music in art?
All the best, and thanks for supporting me on Patreon, and beyond!

Sometimes when feverish, the brain just- won't-shut-up! :)

2025-09-04 10:14:49 +0000 UTCI love it. I don't think sickness ever did too much for me in terms of music, but when exhausted or sleep deprived I woul sometimes have music playing in my head, at some intervals randomly slowing down.

2025-09-04 00:52:53 +0000 UTCThe works are fantastic, but, as for music, no. Sometimes, when I'm sick, I can hear people talking in the distance, even when I know there's nobody there. However! I did have to teach myself how to 'hear' words in my head, or 'hear' thoughts, as every thing I 'thought' was sounds and images or objects, usually abstract, rather than word thoughts.
