Musical Notation Made Graphically Beautiful





I am mesmerized by these visual representations of musical notation. Designer Laia Clos of Spain created a graphic system of musical notation called "SisTeMu." The system translates a musical score into simple geometric forms and basic printing colors. The first case study is the lead violin part of Antonio Vivaldi's  "The Four Seasons." If the international shipping didn't cost so much I'd buy one of these posters in a heartbeat.
