Welcome to eMusicals 411 MIDI Page.
Here, you will find a comprehensive guide as to how I personally sequence, arrange, orchestrate, and compose my musical pieces, particularly in MIDI format.
The first thing I decide as I begin working on a new piece is its orchestration. Except for a few pieces, my works have all been written/arranged for an Orchestral Jazz Band(sometimes referred to as a Jazz Orchestra).
The Reed parts play one of those specified instruments at any one moment.
I have indeed done works with other orchestrations. For instance, I recently finished a piece named "Music For A While" which I arranged for a woodwind quartet: Flute, Oboe, Clarinet and Bassoon. |
The next thing to decide when working on a piece, is its arrangement. Generally, I will arrange my pieces as an accompaniment to the singer. Hence, as you listen to most musical works on this site, you will notice that something is missing: that is the main melody, the singer's voice.

Thirdly, I must sequence the piece I am working on. |
As for composing, I have done several works.
This is just a list of my sequenced works. I have many other pieces and themes which either I have on paper or that I'm still to develop. Also, this is a good amount of musical works I have finished, considering I began to get involved with MIDI several months ago. |
