| The Happy Song that was Supposed to be Sad | This is me playing a song I made up, on guitar. First, I made a MIDI file of the song, then I decided to record it on guitar, because it was pretty good. I used the MIDI for timing because I actually had to record two separate parts for this then combine it into one file. A friend of mine actually didn't believe I made this, and essentially called me a liar when I said I insisted that I did : P. |

E.mp3
E03.mp3 |
E.mp3 is an interesting song I came up with involving moving the E chord shape (without the bar) to different places on the neck. There are other chords, too. I must say that it sounds much better 'live,' as the fullness of the sound comes across much better.
E03.mp3 is the same as the above, but I created an artificial echo by overlaying the same track onto itself 3ms out of sync. |
| My MP3 List (Nov 15th, 2003) |
(Newly acquired and unsorted songs at the start. After about 45, they're approved and sorted)
I have too many MP3s. But CDs are so inconvenient.. Always gotta switch them... I like having 148 hours of music at my fingertips. I might add a comment about each song later. I like some French music : P Past Lists: 1999, 2001 Hm, I notice that my average song length has decreased in 2003 to 4:08 from 4:25 in 2001. I blame it on my Monkees obsession : P Most of their songs are ~2:30 |

MIDIs:
me.mid The Happy Song that was Supposed to be Sad 2.mid E_down.mid midi.mid Street Spirit (Fade Out) |
The problem with MIDIs is that they sound different on different sound cards and different programs...
me.mid A pretty dark sounding song I originally came up with on guitar, but this brings it to a whole new level, with drums and bass. midi.mid This is me.mid, but with an intro. The intro was developed on a guitar with two B strings (I broke the high E and didn't have a replacement) 2.mid is actually random notes I put down when testing the Midi composter I was using. E_down.mid is the same as E.mp3 above, but midi-ized. It sounds way better on guitar. Street Spirit (Fade Out) is a midi I made of the Radiohead song. It's not the whole song, but it's still pretty cool, if I may say so.. Below is the Happy Song that was Supposed to be Sad. You may not be able to see the player on your computer.. |
