Music for Solar System Tour!

[One Day More]

Hey all! Guess what? I just completed some music for one of the songs: "Rings" (as in all three staves). A pity we're unable to post .wav music files here, unless one can...
Soon, you all may be seeing my name in lights! (Then, you'll know my REAL name... *cue-stage lights throw NZborngal into shadow.*

There are a number of free hosting services out there you might want to look into. Check out this link.

Remember, WAVs are nice, but properly compressed MP3s are darn good too, and a lot smaller. Even smaller are MIDIs (especially if that's what your native composition application environment was).

Hope to hear your music soon!

Yep, but Midi sounds different on every PC. I've had good results and bad ones. And people like me who got Midi samplers in their PC regularly have very strange soundfontbanks in their midi bank 1. It is rather funny to hear a Beethoven Midi through a MiniMoog emulator, but it just ain't "it" right? .

Good mp3 sounds nice to give a good impression of the music. You lose a bit on crispness of drums and things like that, but you get the general idea .

Give me some more months and a moment of stupid self confidence and I just might give the BABB community a preview of a mini album I hope to have finished by then. OK never mind, I don't dare to share it.

Oh yes, you can surely compress wave files to mp3's and retain sufficient quality...

Ok, ok, I'll get to my point with this post right away: (:P). For the love of Gawd, please don't tease us like that! I wanna hear your music!


Congratulations on your efforts! =D>

But, how do you put midis on the forum? :-?

It's still necessary to host the MIDI on a site somewhere, and then link to it from here.

Probably the easiest way to do this is to create a web page using Yahoo-Geocities, then upload your MIDI, link to it in an HTML page, and copy the link location.

That's what I just did with my Mahler page there. Here's the result (requires a MIDI application (QuickTime will work too)):

MIDI-Mahler 7th-excerpt.

(Edit note: I changed the MIDI to an excerpt from Mahler's 7th. A symphony whose nickname is "The Song of the Night" and an excerpt from a movement called "Nachtmusik I" somehow seemed very appropriate for an astronomy BB.)

Didn't Holtz already do this? :-k

Well, sort of, except Holst was into astrology, so the inspirations for his various character pieces weren't based on astronomy, but instead, pseudoscience.

I trust NZborngal's creation is well-founded in astronomy.

If you download Melody Assistant from http://www.myriad-online.com
You can import midi and export a type of text file called in the program by the extension dot abc. You can open it in notepad and copy and past it here and then we can copy and past it into notepad and save it as a notepad document then change the extention to dot abc. We then import the abc document into Melody Assistant.

A lot is lost in the procses but we could make out the melody.

The program uses a database of sampled live mucical tones that it uses to reconstruct music from various file formats. (be sure to download the extended sound database). It converts midi to the sampled tones very well in a well written midi. I get sound quality as good as any other with symphonic variety of instruments. But a lot is lost in a text conversion

Some of the formats it handles are midi, karioke, midi/karioke, mp3, wav and several other lesser widely distributed formats. Though it doesn't convert all formats to all other formats, it does convert some formats to some other formats.

Thanks SAMU Here is the script below. Unfortunately, coz it wasn't a registerated version, it will be only the first several seconds. Gutted.

Hi, I'm back again here I can't believe that I last posted in, what, 2005, the "Les Miserables" year! (I call it the Les Miserables year, because that was my school's show last year which I was in. So fun! I love One Day More, Do you hear the people sing, Stars and nearly every song in it. I'm not terribly fond of "Dog Eat Dog" though).

Anyway, after about one and a half orbits of the sun, here's some music for that musical I had been doing on the Solar System. Because I'm now concentrating on another musical, which has a huge length (40 songs, (not including playoffs and a ballet) can you believe it?) Anyhow here are a few of the songs I've managed to complete in music:

http://www.uploading.com/files/BP1VM..._Side.mid.html (Uranus) This one's my favourite.

http://www.uploading.com/files/UAZQRHDV/Rings.mid.html (Saturn)

http://www.uploading.com/files/D348L..._Nine.mid.html (Jupiter)

That's all for now

However, I'd read on google news some time ago that Pluto's no longer a planet. Oh dear. Guess I'll have to change the Pluto song quite dramatically now...
