Perplex City - We Love Puzzles

a piece of music

it is a piece of music or something. It fits with the theme and the title. The architect also did Spin Me Round which is also musical, if I remember correctly.

But yes, it does seem overly difficult for a black. But then I think of Season 1 Mother Tongue and Master of Secrets...

it's a cipher. The pattern doesn't seem right. I've also tried to make questions based on the answer, but nothing quite fits. Of course that isn't proof it is not, but it does shape my gut feeling.

If you look at the size of the circles on the left side of each "ship" and treat larger circle as lower pitch notes, smaller circles being higher pitched notes. Then you get the first few bars of the theme tune to a late 70's sci-fi TV series. Imagine the notes to be trumpet sounds for good effect. I'm guessing other aspects of the "ships" might represent note lengths and possibly percussion.

Larger circles are lower pitch, smaller circles are higher. For the valves, UUU is higher than DUU. As for the length, originally I thought longer ones were lower pitch, but now I think the length has to do with the length of the note. I also think the size of the flare at the end does not matter.

I got several musical scores with this, but couldn't match them to anything. I don't suppose you can tell me what 70's show this is, trk?

Battlestar Galactica?
