martian: interesting---when i am doing sound work, i organize it through shapes and color. how it works is tied to the layout and sound characteristics of the piano, so i think it's a function of how i think spread into that sound-space. i expect that folk who play other instruments would not think in this way--i used to imagine this as synesthetic, but now i am more inclined to think of it as a way of working that changes as your engagement with the instrument changes--depending on the kind of music you're doing for example..
