Range Road

Graphical sound (or drawn sound) is a sound recording created from images drawn directly onto film or paper, then played back using a sound system.

Founded by Mark Templeton in 2015, Graphical extends this principle into a label framework: publishing works where sound and image intersect. Releases take the form of books, cassettes, vinyl, and audiovisual projects, often in limited editions.

Graphical is a platform for experiments in listening and seeing - a space for works that blur the boundaries between sound and image.

Mark Templeton transforms archival and found media into immersive audiovisual collages. He constructs compositions from found sounds, reel-to-reel tape loops, sampled cassettes, his 35mm photographs and appropriated video, layering these elements with digital sound and image techniques. His photobooks, exhibitions, and live performances explore memory, fantasy, and sensory perception. Much of his work is released through Graphical, the audiovisual label he founded to publish his own musical and image based experiments in 2015.

Since 2007, Templeton has released work both solo and collaboratively, including "Two Verses" (2024, Faitiche) and "Inner Light" (2024, Enmossed). His 2024 exhibition "A GUIDE TO INNER LIGHT", presented at Solas Gallery in Seattle, assembled found slides, sound, and installation, later extending into a book and cassette. His performances and installations have appeared at galleries, festivals, and alternative spaces across North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, and China.
