Thanks to the idm lurkers who came to the Hypnotica which featured our synthesized heavy metal tunes. Someone asked if we'd used midi files or transcribed it from scratch. Most of the tracks did have midi files out there on the net, but I found that, in most cases, the bass, drums, and a number of solos were either completely wrong or just skipped or generalized in a relatively similar key. Most of the guitar solos had to be rebuilt from scratch. If anyone is really concerned about this being so, please listen to the Foxx tune on my website; it is 100% transcribed off the record as there is not a stitch of entablature/midi/sheet music online at all. This is difficult time-consuming work--not so casual as running a few hip hop samples and 92 breakbeats thru the dsp woodchipper-- so, _no_, we could not have just downloaded the metal tunes near the state we sequenced them--I'm glad there were some witnesses to our efforts and alluring stage presence(s); thankssss for coming. _ _ || || "we play guitar; we FLAY!!" - rocker from Heavy Metal ||__|| _ Parking Lot |///'|// \\\\^ / \^^_/ | | http://www.syncopated.net/solenoid Solenoid & Jesse James, portland or --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
