Sound diagramming is a visual exploration of sound that expands the act of listening into the audio-visual. Here I analyze diagramming as a method for exploring both un-represented aspects of sound and alternative perspectives of silence and the listening experience. I consider at the work of four artists: Liz K Miller (deconstructing ecological soundscapes); Christine Sun Kim (expressing a relationship with sound); Lawrence Abu Hamdan (the harmful misinterpretation of voice and accent) and Jorinde Voigt (the emotional experience of music composition). Listening with diagrams reveals previously unnoticed sonic details and provides alternative perspectives through which to consider otherwise familiar sound. keywords:
