We really are a strange lot, aren't we? Writers, designers, engineers, architects, musicians - the so-called "creatives". Through our love of cutting the world into tiny bits and labelling each little piece, we have created an endless range of niche activities for us to define ourselves by. But could it be that our labels are too thin? Aren't these supposedly specialised disciplines all based on the same universal principles of good design? And if so, can we not take, for example, architectural principles and interpret them musically, or vice versa?
