more patterns

Here's another nabulous idea for an interface:



well, anyway, those are the shapes that the patterns would be made from. I actually just remembered how I used to play with blocks that were shaped like the image above; the design possibilities are varied and interesting, and tend, not surprisingly, to create images with the number 4 at the root of things (which might be handy, musically).

As for how these designs would act to create music, I haven't thought of anything very inspiring. Perhaps this idea would mix with the quilt pattern idea as another dimension to that idea...
