Music for an unfinished Doom map, early 2000s. Many of these MIDIs will sound (much) better with a fancy SoundFont or a good hardware synth, but that tends to be hit or miss, at least without a lot of tweaking. Recordingsįor listening convenience, I'm providing audio renditions recorded on a standard laptop soundcard (look further down on this page for the source MIDI files and comments about each track). Thus everything is really a work in progress. Even if I "complete" a piece (and I tend to have trouble getting there!), I usually find something to change later.

This page lists a selection of presentable tracks that are completed or reasonably close to being completed. Perhaps a hundred of these are more-or-less complete tracks, a few hundred are good starts (melodies or intros I'm happy with, in need of being extended to proper compositions), and a majority are just scribbles. I recently also started using Sekaiju which is very nice.Īs of November 2013, I have created some 1700 MIDI files with a total playing time of 29 hours (that includes maybe 10% alternate versions and duplicates, though). I mainly use Cakewalk 3.01, which is ancient but works beautifully for plain MIDI editing (unlike many newer programs). I compose everything by score editing, i.e.

Chick Corea), Bach, heavy/power/progressive metal and rock music in general. I also draw inspiration from jazz and jazz fusion (e.g. My main influence is video game music (Koji Kondo, Nobuo Uematsu, and others), and indeed many tracks are intended as music for some (imagined) game.

I started composing MIDIs in 1999, and it has remained my second biggest hobby after programming.
