Almost too easy, which makes me suspicious Craig has some weird counter play ;-) Indeed, why not? Rise and fall in values of acoustics + phonetics, shrill i of kiki vs. roundness of bouba, are mapped to jagged form vs rounder form. Spikes vs. curves in values of graphic pattern mirrored by disjunct vs. conjunct in sound, which you could make visible by frequency response graph. Spikes vs. curves, odd to even, states of randomness to organization etc. Full buffet, eat all you can, choice is yours.
