HiOther than alternative grasses i could recomend something like bamboo which would give you some nice sound or Alternativly what about a water feature???Something like this http://www.primrose-london.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=1_7&products_id=25 can be acheived cheaplyPop a large contaner to hold the pump and water inside your raised bed. Add some metal sheeting that does not quite cover the hole so the water can spill over and create your upright structure by getting hold of squares of glass on top of each other cut a hole in the middle of each and drop a pipe in to connect it to the pump below. You will need to think about using a sealent to hold them in place and stop them getting loose in high wind.You can then plant bamboo behind it???L
How about "Heavenly Bamboo" - Nadina Domestica? It isn't actually a bamboo..."An interesting medium-sized shrub, sometimes used in the manufacture of chop-sticks, looking superficially just like a Bamboo with long, erect, unbranched stems. In June and July it bears large, attractive panicles of white flowers followed by red berries. Hardy in all but the coldest districts."Search for Nadina Domestica on Google Images for pictures
As your patio doors are to the left and I expect that is where you will sit on the patio. I feel you are in danger of not seeing a lot of your garden. Ideally you should have your main point of interest/focal point from where you would normally look at the garden. Have a try at moving your design diagonally and try not to split your garden in two. Do not spoil it all with a washing line, get a retractable one that dissapears whe not in use.
