People aren't allowed just to post scores, and no audio, forever. Start posting audio, or hop on over to an art forum.

I don't understand what this is supposed to be... Is your drawing an interpretation of a piece of music you've written?

Ahah, the Mondrian influence gets clearer!

Anyways, I'm too tired right now to comment on this score, but just in reply to Dev: What exactly are you willing to accept as a score? Are you willing to accept Indian or Japanese music notation as scores? And what about Gregorian chant notated in neumes where pitches and rhythms aren't indicated at all, just the general contours of the music? And what about the many, many scores in the 20th century that differ from "common practice period" music notation? Notation changes with the music and is in the end only a tool. Some forms of notation may be more suitable for a specific kind of music than others, but in the end the acoustic result counts.

You don't judge a piece of software by the program language it was written in either, but by how well it works. If it doesn't work well, you may argue that another programming language would have worked better, but as long as it works it's rather irrelevant whether it was written in C++, Assembler, or JavaScript ().

Anything can be a score to music, the question is just whether it's a suitable form of notating a specific kind of music.

What am I willing to accept as a score? Notes? Relative pitches? Chord charts? Even written intructions would be fine, like "dissonant interval for 5 seconds, then perfect fifth for 3." But I mean, colored boxes? Lines? A painting? What am I supposed to get out of that? Sure, it evokes emotion, it's art - I can't argue with that - but a musical score? What instrument is that? What key, what notes, what harmonies, what tune? The answer is no one has a damn clue but won't ever admit it because you'll be accused of not being "open-minded" enough to "get" this "modern form of music."

And don't accuse me of being "traditionalist" or whatever either - I've seen musical scores that were just lines and arrows pointing to dots or squiggles, but the composer clearly indicated that the lines were the direction of pitch and the squiggles were trills or whatever, and while the audio itself is a bit modern for my tastes, that score was effective at conveying an idea and is perfectly acceptable.

This? This is colors and boxes with no instruction whatsoever and no indication that it is even meant to be a "musical score." I mean if I took a shit in a napkin and told you "play this, it's a piece of music," you'd have me comitted because that's stupid and you know it. Why should this be any different, just because it's happy colors and squares?

And as for your programing languages analogy, you're exactly right - this should be judged on how well it works, and the reality is, it doesn't. It doesn't convey a single musical idea, it doesn't suggest any sort of soundtrack, there are no harmonies or notes or even sounds of any kind eminating from it. It just doesn't work. Sheet music should be viewed as a set of instructions to the performer, and this completely fails to do that other than the fact that it essentially says, "make up whatever you want." Serious question to you, if I published a piece that was just the sentence, "make up whatever you want" written on a piece of paper, would you consider it sheet music? If yes, then you're so open-minded your brain has fallen out.

EDIT: I love how it took 7 years to finish a crayon drawing.

The score is all right, but will you please resolve your sevenths correctly?!
