Less Literal Design Development

After the interim crit I realised that my design was almost entirely made up from looking at shapes and forms associated with music and instruments. 

I did a quick mind map to come up with some words associated with music which i could then look to take abstract ideas from

The small image with the person on a bench shows the land form, rather than simply being flat, shaped to resemble undulating waves.
