architecture
- what is a room? - a resonant body
- what is a drum? - a resonant body

geometry
- point : line : plane

painting
- color : depth (perception) : shape

theatre
- setting : timing : flow

line 1 - thru each turn and development - following its course - multiples of line = harmony - multiple statements of the same thing/concurrent statements/disagreements on large and small levels. stepping back, modification of rate of change - how fast/how slow - if needed/wanted - multiple levels allowing layers (by panning/EQ(room)/volume) -

line 2 - plot (character development) - statement of purpose - non-sequitive statements - daydream - falling off topic - repetition to prove point/give chance for reflection/allow for segue - (repetition - denial of development? or different look at development?). (again) stepping back, out of order, tell a story, with a map or not -

color 1 - multiple looks at a single issue - giving background/placement in history/age - room - miking - surface - reflection - post - (multiples of each) - color wheel = western pitch - reading between the lines - saturation (dry vs. wet) - etc -
