Indeed, that much is the appollian, but the form (colors, textures, strokes) is of crucial importance. I was speaking of this with my girlfriend who is an artist and a graphic designer . . . she told me that to envoke a sense of hunger, companies use the color orange (since orange triggers hunger). We then did a home test, where we took markers and colored squares on paper. Now, granted this wasn't very scientific, but we discovered that with warm colors, the squares were "scribbled" (that is, we did them half-assed) but with cold colors, we really colored the shit out of the sqaure. Why?

We also discovered that cold colors seemed to envoke the same feelings, but not the warm. And I got to thinking, is the reason because we scribbled the warm colors, which kind of gave the sqaure a haphazord design . . . hence a picture? Was there a hint of the dyonisian with these sqaures?

But cannot such aspects of the dyonisian cause emotional responses? Or is it the appollian? Take music for example . . . why do fast-paced rhythms make one feel joyous while slow-paced rhythms seem to be rather dreary. This is the appollian aspect of the song, but the notes and tones . . . what's the difference between a fast song that's happy and a fast song that's angry? A slow song that's sad, and one that's pretty? Is this still a trigger for one's memory? I mean, I don't know about you, but when I hear music for the first time, and I grab a feeling/emotion from it, it's not necessarily directed to some memory or prior feeling. Sometimes it is, but not always. And I listen to a lot of music.

Think on that for me would ya . . .
