Welcome to my MIDI website.
Thanks for stopping by.
It's a
strange thing, but outside of music for
computer games, most midi music tends to
be cover versions of popular music with
one or more instruments acting as the
"vocal" track. Sometimes
excellent and sometimes appalling, the
vast majority of midi works out there
consist of these "Elevator Muzac"
renditions. Original Midi tends to be
hard to find, probably due to the
requirements of the format. Like anything
else creative, there is a substantial
learning curve involved in the production
of midi-format music, but when you've
mastered it, there is very little
recognition available of any sort. And
less financial reward. But, to an outside
observer, the fact is that 99% of what's
available are "Elevator Muzac"
cover versions - which cheapens the value
and esteem placed on originals.
Well, I'm one of the black
sheep. I compose original music in the
midi format. My creations are intended
first and foremost for my own enjoyment
of the process of composing; and second,
for my own enjoyment of the results. If
anyone else likes them, that's a bonus.
But, enough people have told me that they
like them - including some "pro"
musos - that it is worthwhile making them
available to the general public. And
that, my friends, is the primary purpose
of this website.
So I hope you like what you
hear. If not, I'm sorry if I've wasted
your time. But please try one of the
other tunes, because there's enough
variety of style and sound here that
there's almost certainly going to be
SOMETHING that will appeal.
This
website is very much a work in progress.
A lot of content is intended to appear
here - just as soon as I can get it done!
In the meantime, please be patient.....
