Music
This page was created in times when there was no internet :-) well, almost. It was somewhere, but hardly anyone saw it. Finding great pieces of music was not easy at all. Is midi music worth your time today? When I gathered these pieces and listened to them for hours, I wrote:
You are often amazed with the clear sound of midi music, but then
the classical high quality grandpiano shows you the right hierarchy - what is fake and
what is original. Looks like I prefer to play one-finger on a piano than listen to 20-instrument
poliphony (at least as long as crescendo is realized by adjusting volume).
Yet if you have a good music card with a wavetable, or a realistic sound synthesis, then midi pieces can still be captivating for their sound at an extraordinary compactness (tiny files!)
Many funny stories and jokes about various musicians, violinists,
piano players, vocalists etc. are available
here.
