Musical and lyrical concepts
The main concept behind Drawing Lines (1989), is of course the fact that the songs on the album (except for the cover versions) originally were written in 1989, when Eth Eonel was ten years old. They were his first real songs. For this album they have been rearranged and rerecorded with new lyrics. It's recorded and mixed so as to resemble an actual 1989 recording, but by means of new technology.

Drawing Lines is the first solo album by Eth Eonel. It consists of 15 songs, 13 of which he wrote during 1989 (at the age of ten), and two cover versions. Only one of the songs, the last track, is an actual recording from 1989, but several others has elements of the original recordings in them. It also marks the first in a long series of releases showcasing Eth Eonel's history of songwriting, from 1989 until now. The album was recorded as part of a Master's Degree assignment in Music Technology. The songs are recorded and produced by means of new technology, but made to sound like an 80s synth pop album, though it has elements of progressive rock/pop and avant garde music. Two of the songs (8 and 14) are sung in Irish Gaelic, and two songs (9 and 11) in the artificial language //éons mel//, which Eth Eonel has created.

The album booklet is a 18x18 cm, 20-page book.
