If skylines could be translated into music, what would they sound like?



Japanese artist Koshi Kawachi has creatively rendered outlines of Japan's landscapes into musical notes with his project titled “Note Drawing”—he replaces the highest points of mountains and cityscapes into corresponding musical notes.



The replaced notes were played on a Tonkori, a traditional plucked string instrument played by the indigenous people of Hokkaido, and recorded.
