Caligraphic Musical Notation   (+1)  [vote for, against]
system for translating a painted musical score directly into sound

This would be a method of notating a piece of music whereby you paint marks on a score and have a digital camera sweep the score and translate it exactly into sound -- so if the mark is high on the score it sounds high, if it fades out the sound fades out, if it splatters the sound splatters. See link for an example of something like this. Also see inspiration for discussion of metric music notation.
