what kind of piano is that? the black keys have been reduced to minuscule stubs :-(

and the layout is not that of a piano whatsoever. alternating white, black, white, black, etc. how is miku supposed to play a piece when the key structure doesn't line up with music theory?

makes me furious. the artist should always do researchgoogle images before painting something.
unless it was intended that way. which in that case, does not make any sense to me whatsoever.

its merely an artistic choice on how to depict the piano keyboard. art doesnt need to make complete sense or follow every law of physics. after the advent of photography, representative art for the sake of imitating reality alone became devoid of any meaning. the artist wanted a keyboard with this form, so thats why he did it like that. maybe he doesnt know anything about piano at all, maybe he does. theres no way to know for sure just by looking at this picture alone. this doesnt change the fact that for whatever reason it was his desire to see a keyboard like this, so he created it himself. and to be honest, if you really want to think about the "usability" of this keyboard, in matters of size alone, i think a skilled musician should be able to play it after some practice. (but the erroneous numbers of white and black notes rly fuck it up lol wtf? a new chord system or smth?) anyways dont think too literally. its a form, form has meanings and implications other than just practical matters... in my opinion at least...

im sorry if i sound arrogant, i just hope you can come to enjoy this keyboard as much as i did, hahaha. its much better than being angry about it, i can assure you. i can understand your feelings, because i also get angry about a lot of stuff, especially ignorance and stupidity and things like that, too.

great comment debbie, thanks for responding :-)

and yes you are right about that, the artist should not be bounded how things are in reality. but for all we know, there are pianos like this out there, and detailed chord systems in place for them.

or the world this artist is displaying always just normally use pianos like that there.

but probably, details like those are not necessary in this piece-it is not the focus, so it shouldn't matter in the first place whether the piano has a strange-looking (to us) key structure. after all, artwork is the gateway into expressing your heart, mind, and soul.

however, i just realized this piano looks much more like a midi synthesizer/sequencer. all the synth controls are the holographic controls. so this makes much more sense that it would have a different layout of keys, because you aren't going to professionally play chopin or ravel on this keyboard (non-weighted-keys prevent this).
all one would use this keyboard for is pressing a note or two, some chords, apreggios, etc and subsequently adding them into the music being composed in the program.

ultimately, miku looks pretty chill about it, it's probably no problem for her to compose great music with her strange keyboard.

we are just the observers of this world that the artist has created.
you reminded me not to take every aspect too literally, i do agree, thanks

I think the keyboard is pretty interesting because it appears that the keys themselves are more digital than physical keys, much like that light-projected keyboard they have for computers in Japan (if you notice the keys she is sitting on are more greyed out than the keys that are simply under her shadow).
