Absurdist Composition by Haberley Mead
April 2nd, 2008 3:16 PM
I myself am only a beginner musician, and can barely read music at all. Therefore, this was design with the aesthetics more in mind than the music. It's a happy coincidence that it sounds okay, though! The only problem I found was making it look as complex as Faerie's Aire - there's really no software I could find that would let you make something that detailed...
The music was made using PowerTab software, mainly because you could break the idea of the music without it stopping you - every so often I got a Fatal Error message, but if you cancel them and continue there's nothing wrong. At the end, the 'guitar' section had a grand total of 14 errors, and the bassline (wierdly enough) also had 14 errors. Must mean this is the right place to leave it, having reached absurdic perfection!
The midi is provided for your listening pleasure, played for your delectation by the Stafford Surrealist Orchestra, comprising of:
An electric guitar, distorted beyone reason
An electric bass
A Synthetic Brass section
Timpani
Tubular Bells and
A female weasel choir.
Enjoy! (Although maybe that's the wrong word...)

I enjoyed it, indeed. And I'm filled with the urge to get balsamic vinegar.

I'm with Lincoln. I want more. It sounds really cool.

The percussion part actually kind of sounds like some bits we have to play in Percussion Ensemble. -_-;

I love "Stare accusingly at the tuba".
