Stripes can be depicted with certain descriptions which can be also applied to those of music or sound; tones, sequences, movement, rhythms, harmonies, proportions, and so on.
(Pastoureau, M., 2001, The Devil's Cloth: A History of Stripes and Striped Fabric)
Rigidly fixed lines on a surface are static but we seem to be under an illusion that they are moving, just like a piece of music.

Stripes start with a line, which starts with a dot, which seems to be the departure point. Once the dot leaves the point, it makes a track and the trace of the track becomes a line. Life is an accumulation of making lines through experiences and journeying along these lines.Yet, it is impossible to predict where the lines we draw through the journey of our lives are heading towards: being is always uncertain.Consequently, the pattern of stripes that a person creates can never be identical with those of another. That is what we call ‘personality'
