Okay....Jose is being a facetious and pretentious ass in what he's done, and I hope he never comes back. BUT, this raises a few issues:

What key, what notes, what harmonies, what tune? The answer is no one has a damn clue but won't ever admit it

Gardener nails it.
What Jose has so sarcastically presented
can easily be musical. BUT, it would only work (I think) with serious improvisors. The "notes", "instrument", "key", "harmonies", "tune" are within the graphic to be interpreted and extracted by the performers. It's just a way of affecting/effecting the direction of an improvisation...
Anyway, I can't stand it when THIS bullshit is getting more attention than actual creative pieces of
music...
