PORTFOLIO OF MIDI ARRANGEMENTS
AVAILABILITY OF MIDI FILES
The following is a portfolio of musical titles I made into digital arrangements via MIDI between 1989 and 2004 These arrangements were orchestrated with the sound banks of my DX7 keyboard, my Roland D110 and Proteus 2 sound modules. They were originally recorded onto cassette tapes (and more recently, CD's) for my personal use. A great deal of care and artistry went into these renderings. Although they are digital 'MIDI's', the instrumentation for most of these are not 'mapped' to the General MIDI (GM) standard that computers use for MIDI sound reproduction, so most .mids that are requested will not sound right instrumentally will have to be 'fixed' by re-assigning instruments. This is especially true for the MIDI drum mapping. At any rate, the .mid format played by most computers is quickly becoming obsolete in the light of the recent advancements in computing power & capacity that allows for 24 bit audio processing. The audio produced with today's technology is far superior in quality to the General MIDI audio that most computers use for .mid playback. Consequently, I recommend that customers order upgraded renderings of the available titles listed below.
**IMPORTANT**
Many titles in my collection are under copyright protection. I WILL NOT DISTRIBUTE THESE without permission from the copyright holders.
The main purpose of this lisiting is to demonstrate the range of musical styles I am capable of rendering digitally. All my musical work is crafted to the highest artistic standards. I seek clients who require my services as an arranger or who otherwise have a need for some specific music that I can produce with my technological tools.
That said, some of the ready-made titles below are available upon request. Most of the available titles will require some upgrading to make them 'playable' as General MIDI '.mids'. I must charge a fee for that service (since labor is involved), as well as for other services such as upgrading to 24 bit audio samples (recommended), conversion to mp3, burning CD's, etc. Please realize that the MIDI arrangments catalogued below (with the exception of a few classical titles) are not copies of the universally available '.mid's' found all over the web, but are my original work. I have made some of these available as downloadable MIDI's and you may freely link to these. Please email me for specific requests. They will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
For an example
of the sound quality that my studio now produces, go to the "Daydreams" music sample page (linked to the Alice website) and click on the player.
Again, attempting to play The MIDI's on this page with older, computer-based General MIDI (GM) renderings will produce unsatifactory results. But these raw MIDI files will import into state of the art digital workstation software where new samples can be assigned to the tracks.
THE CATALOGUE
Click on any of the categories below to go to that part of the catalogue. Use your browser's "find" feature to locate specific titles by keyword. Titles in the catalogue higlighted in red are linked to downloadable MIDI's. For a fee, I will upgrade all distributable MIDI's to higher grade sampled audio, deliverable in any audio format upon request. Email me for more information.
