We all know how architecture has influenced tops: NEFF!
We all know how tops have influenced music: for example the "Giant humming tops composition"  from Peter Schat or "Toupie Tambour" from the Hadouk Trio:

The question is: "Did the tops help the tricks evolve or did the tricks help the tops evolve? Toupie or not toupie, that's the question!"  ;D

I think the tops helped the tricks grow but then the imagination of the player and technology helped push the way tops are made- leading to new styles of play. Round and round it goes!

The sacrium Gregorian music sounds with a lot of reververation. I love that music, but it is difficulto to search it well recorded.

In other way. The player evolve the top. Choosing materials, playing, changing, tunning. We are still trying to extract all the potencial the traditional acrobatic top got.

As in all uman things, contamination, influence are the key to evolve, to modify and gain new visions, new points of view.

Let's not forget this connection between architecture and tops:



Will tops help humans evolve? A look at the shape of an alien head probably answers the question:
