Suspended in time is therefore a time period that is temporarily inactive or like they say 'when time doesn't move' or 'time stands still.'

1.  the suspension of time with music- 'rest' in notation
2.  the rule of suspending the tails in the letters
3.  Half of the letter becoming suspended
4. using hooks- fish hooks somehow to relate to hanging of people etc
5.  letterforms being stretched long and width way



Extra ideas to think about: 

-Hanging the letterforms from a point
-Looking at the rhythm of the alphabet
-Diacritics- when certain coded are on top of the alphabet, it makes you say it longer etc
-Grid System





Musical notes that are used the most in music are: crotchets, semibreves and quavers.
The music notes are positioned on the stave according to the pitch of the note.
