Ahh, very interesting! How could I forget about television! Truth is I
never saw a telly until I was six. 

Once I read about the "archetypes of Jung" and I was thinking that
knowing sound and harmony as 3d shapes/colors may be built into the
human operating system ("brain" or whatever there is that keeps us
going). I have also been thinking about how easy it would be to teach
people to play instruments if you start out from these common archetypes
instead of starting with scores, notes and scales. How about that? ;-)

Best wishes
