Where is the “horn needs”?

fiogf49gjkf0d Well, this is what I call “beautiful but” category. Unquestionably
it is very creative, firm, light and very attractive, and it is wonderful to solicit
appreciation of simpletons-morons who did so in the comments. There is no need to talk about sound of those
things- it is irrelevant and will depend from many other things. What is possible to talk is design objectives
and concepts.
The whole story about
horns is interesting as you can diamonds-plate the horn but the horn does not
care that it shine like a diamond and cost as much as national budget of small African country. Horns what they
want and the whole artistry to make horn installations is to let the horn needs
to dominate but in the same time to pursue the aesthetics and many other human
objectives.
From the aesthetics perspective Jeffery did phenomenal job
but from my perspective he did not fulfill the “horn needs”. Of case the odd numbers of leafs is mandatory and only God in
his infinite wisdom knows why the morons who do leafy horse keep making them
with even number of petals. I am glad that he
deviated from conical profile – that was not good idea in my view. This looks
like early terminated Tratrix to but mentioning this horn as tribute to late Jean-Michel
Le Cleac'h is absolutely ridicules. This
type of horn has huge termination problem, ironically it was what Jean-Michel
was fighting in his design. Those multi-faced sharp edges at the break like are
very bad, do not forget that they ae not at 0 degree as it would be with full Tratrix but they
looks like at 70% degree. That is very bad. Also, the “randomness” of the
profile at the termination edge “looks” like nice, the problem that for the frequency
the horn will be operating (looks like MF) the “randomness” is to large.
So, if it was me then I would smooth the bends at the termination edge but I do agree
that it will kill the sexappeal and photogenics of the horn.
