Take care, and have fun!

No Show Today.
Jul 25
Last night was a bit of a scramble for me. I wasn’t able to prepare for the show properly due to some real life circumstances. However, we got through listening to a bunch of my different synthesizers playing some of the same tracks to see how they compared in General MIDI sound.
Most of the comparisons were not really intended to be very objective, just a showcase of how the different synths may play things. I might try to do something more objective in the future.
Overall, I think the show turned out OK. It’s a very raw show with me running about plugging in different synths. I forgot to lay in some background beds when I was just talking, I’ll try to remember that in the future, and always have something for background.

Episode 2: Doom Day!
Jul 11
Tonight, we revisited the music of the games Doom and Doom 2. All the tracks played were remixed by me using my Roland SC-8850 synthesizer. Additionally, an archive of all the music can be downloaded below.
This was a pretty fun show, excluding some minor technical problems that cut the show a few minutes short towards the end. Luckily, for the most part, the archive recording came out with very few of the glitches I was hearing live.
Enjoy!

Don’t miss the show tonight! Planning to start around 7:00pm, but depending on when I finish dinner, might start a bit later.
The votes are in, today’s game music will be from Doom and Doom 2!
I will be playing my own personally remixed versions of the entire Doom 1 soundtrack and some of the Doom 2 soundtrack.
It should be fun!

Random MIDI Adventures…
Jul 5
Just signed off from doing a broadcast for almost three hours. Sadly, I did not record it, as it was an impromptu thing, that started off with me just testing some stuff out. It was still a lot of fun though, and thanks for all the people who were listening!
In the future, I’ll make sure to always be ready to record stuff like that. I did write down everything that was played, so technically I could re-create the show, the only difference being without my actual comments, but I didn’t really talk much on this show anyway.
So, stay tuned for more MIDI Adventure Shows in the near future, once we schedule an official regular show time, it will be posted here.

Episode 1: Pirate Pilot!
Jul 4
Ahoy mateys!
Today we celebrate our independence from boredom! We harken back, to a land, a time, most perilous… The golden age of piracy on the high seas! Ha-har!
Aye, twas a time when your wit had to be at least thirty-two sixteenths as sharp as your blade, lest you be a victim of a routine keelhauling or scaphism by your peers!
Arrgh, the freedom that be the sea, treasure huntery, swashbuckling adventure, and —Look behind you! A Three-Headed Monkey!
That’s right folks! In our “Pirate Pilot” episode of the MIDI Music Adventure Show! We cover the awesome music of “The Secret of Monkey Island” in it’s MT-32 form, among other things.
Happy Independence Day, and I hope you enjoy the show!
