Pyramids as music notes make me think of a children's book I saw a few years back that had a Thelonious Monk song done with a different color representing a certain note. As the song spiraled from page to page in the book as a rainbow of colors you had illustrations of Monk and others dancing, flying, and other neat things.
Maybe something similar could be done with pyramids.
