without the detailed brief it's hard to know where they are going with this but:
1) an italic or script font might work better.
2) If you go with the first option try mixing up the heights of the notes like a score would naturally be... also, the feel of music is there in the notes, but they aren't exactly note like... the round shape of a note is more connected to the stem. You could also think about adding in quaver lines or some other marks such as rests, etc... don't go overboard though.
It's also looking much better than this US company... lol

how'd you go with this mate? client like it?

Update: All references to Byron Bay to be removed “we don’t want that association”, WTF!?!
I am removing them as we speak, but waiting on a phone call to try and figure out how the brief can say “More arty with a Byron colour flavour” but not want any association with Byron Bay. This is what happens when getting a brief is impossible – you get the brief AFTER you’ve done the job.
Will post the finished items soon.
- The job is done. What they're asking for are revisions :)BuddhaHat

First concept, third one. They other two are too busy - too many notes in the Sounds word.

Def. the 1st one. Have you thought about adding some thin lines over the words to make the note idea a little clearer. Maybe it's a lame idea, but it is worth a try and would make it very easy to sell = Quick Cash : )

Two very different approaches but which one fits what the company is trying to achieve? What are they trying to say with their brand?
- The extent of the brief is “more arty”...MrOneHundred

that's a serious brief there Mr100... they weren't smoking some the local hydro were they?

nice result for all your hard work...

The first route is nice — perhaps keep the note shapes to the vertical parts of the letters only (maybe even just the U&N, which sits nicely) so the musical reference is more implied and it look less like ornamentation.

take away one or two of those little feet curl things.

Thats a shame man, the three you posted in the end were really cool, each one had something good going on. I do hate those limited briefs, always leads to 'but we thought you'd be creative / we know what we like when we see it' kinds on conversations later.
Be happy with your solutions though, as they are lovely. And you can always try to poke the client in the eye later on.
- Thanks guys.I have asked that this thread be deleted, as I think I have said too much.MrOneHundred

i love the 1st and 3rd. i hate the 2nd. great work mate.
- MrOneHundred0
Thanks guys, this has been helpful if only to reinforce what my own mind has been telling me. I will proceed to cutting off my failure-child hands after one last cup of coffee.
- Are you insinuating the Village People image wasn't helpful?NotByHand
- It was more... distracting than helpful.MrOneHundred
- MrOneHundred0
Looks like I struck out.
“We don’t like any of these”.
Live and learn.
