''As a [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diademhäher Steller's jay] flies over the canyon, his belly, wings and long tail are blue; the blue of his flight and the red of the rocks takes on the splendor of Gothic stained-glass windows.

''For the Steller's jay, chords with "contracted resonance" (red and orange) ... Chords with "transposed inversions" (yellow, mauve, red, white and black) render the color of the rocks ... Next, polymodality superimposing the three 4-mode (orange-colored with red stripes) to the six 2-mode (brown, reddish, orange-colored, purple) bring to a fortissimo conclusion the sapphire blue and orange red rocks.''<ref>Cytowic, Richard E.

''DH: It's very hard to describe because it's ineffable. With the Ravel's tree music, for example, I remember drawing the lines fo the tree to the music because it had a weight. You know how a tree has a volume and a weight. I drew it during the music.'' | ''DH: It's very hard to describe because it's ineffable.

''For Rossignol and the others it was the same. When I'm working on it I will play the music constantly. Normally when I work I do not work to msuic. I don't like it as a background because you find you either listen or you don't. It could be trashy music—a little ballet or something, Swan Lake—where you would't be too distracted. But I couldn't, because I would lose the lines of what I was drawing at the moment''<ref>Cytowic, Richard E.
