The whole aesthetic seems wrong. The perfect circles and even lines seriously clash with the naturally drawn clefs. In the example music, they adopt a new font for the time signature to blend in better, I guess, but the clefs are still out of place. There's an appealing naturalness to traditional notation that this system abandons and ends up looking like a schematic or alien code. Should really work the style into a more natural feel. There's potential here, but it's falling a bit flat (a pun and also literally the lines are too flat). The sharps look like a guy flipping the bird. And the flats look a guy with a fist, ready to fight. Funny but a bit distracting. The focus on pitch letters (abcdefg) and lack of key signatures reveals a weak music theory foundations. The key says what scale to use and then you think about the relative positions, you don't think about the letters. It feels a bit like training wheels for reading music. Maybe thats the real purpose? |
