The title “improbable, imaginary, invisible, tuning sound to bodies, bodies to sound” is a poem and a blurb. This book is queer, playful, and tongue-in-cheek. The 77 drawings of imagined tuning forks range from the geometric and the anthropomorphic, to the saucy and the absurd. They invite a sense of play and synaesthetic interpretation. What sounds would they make?

The layered risograph palette of fluorescent pink, aqua, yellow, and metallic gold, ebb and flow in a way that is reminiscent of Kirlian photography. The colours take inspiration from The Cosmic Octave; a theory of colours, tones and harmonies that resonate with our chakras and the planets. They progress through the pages like a DNA spiral.

Bound with a translucent plastic fluoro-orange coil, the 76 pages are printed on 100gsm inners, with a Munken 170gsm cover. Size: 7x8”, 205g. Design by Studio Elana Schlenker, USA

The original drawings for the book were made in 2016 and lovingly printed in 2023 by Dizzy Ink, UK.
