Synesthesia: Scribble the Sound

A music-led drawing journey, straight from your subconscious.

About the Workshop

Synesthesia: Scribble the Sound is a workshop where live music unlocks the subconscious and participants draw what they hear and feel, turning sound into something you can see on the page. No skill, no planning, no judgment. Tamlin plays her original songs live and acoustic, and the room draws along, letting colour and line move on their own. It's art therapy, lite.

The setlist is the guide. Each song is chosen and ordered to lead people further inward: from the masks we wear, to the neglected inner child, to coming home to ourselves. Before each one, Tamlin opens with a short story or a question, then lets the music pull the feelings and images onto the page. The songs are the prompt; the subconscious does the drawing.

What comes out tends to surprise people. Each person leaves with a single piece of unplanned art that traces the whole journey, a small mirror of where they went.

Participant Testimonials

Quotes from participants at the 19 June 2026 session at People of Ari.

"Usually when I try to draw, I can barely get anything down because I keep thinking I have no drawing skills and it'll just look bad. But today I drew so much, two whole pages. It's like your music unblocked something in me."

— Pear, Thailand

"I've been into self-development workshops lately, and this was unexpectedly good. The songs guided us through an inner-work journey, and the part about the inner child stuck with me. It helped me express how I feel through drawing without criticizing myself."

— Mai, Thailand

"Before the session I was planning to draw galaxies and was looking up reference photos. But then you said to draw unplanned art from your subconscious without filtering, so I just let whatever came out come out, and it's totally not what I expected."

— Muha, Germany

"I'm surprised at what I drew. It doesn't look like my usual style at all, but it all just flowed out of me."

— Chris, England
