MIDI PAGE

A modest collection of buzz-click type music.  Some I've re-arranged for piano from cheesy synthesizer versions, with dynamics added, and no small amount of labour involved.  Those indicated by an asterisk I've made from scratch myself, in which case there's only me to blame for mis-transcription or bad taste in the arrangements.

Bear in mind that I'm new to this game and, therefore,  more than likely to make a mess of it.

FOLK & TRADITIONAL

AUSTRALIA
Van Diemen's Land*
(Could be Irish or English in origin.  Published in many forms.  Gave the title to Robert Hughes' book 'The Fatal Shore'.)

(Completely new arrangement, slow and sad piano, with a reference to Tori Amos's 'Pretty Good Year'.)

THE DIVINYLS
Science Fiction*
Science Fiction - Piano part*
(This is my own original stuff, nothing like the record which I've long since forgotten, except to say it's early '80s electro-pop and I liked it when I was six.)

KYLIE MINOGUE
Can't Get You Out Of My Head
(Comically lacking in expression as Psycho Botox Kylie stalks her victim, hence the reference to Marche Funebre.)

(Late night Rhodes arrangement.)
