Maybe i misunderstood your comment though.. > Sure, the connections between the physical phenomena are real and immediate: ball hits ground, makes sound according to well-established physical correspondences. However, establishing correspondences between the elements of an image and the elements of sound seems to me to be an arbitrary exercise: ball is bright red, sound is a Bb over middle C. Don't get me wrong, I think the fun begins when we can elevate a set of arbitrary rules and correspondences into productive methods.

I'm learning as I go...
