Midi

A computer file that send information to your sound card about a musical performance.

You hear a song. The sound is as good as your sound card or synth.

Here's a sample Haydn's Sonata in G 1st Movement

All of the midi files on this server are modified and somewhat abbreviated. There is enough of each song (about 20 measures) to give you a feel for what they are like.

Midified

I made up the word. I created cds for every artist listed on the site.
For example: Art Tatum Midified.

You hear the songs in the style of Art Tatum but it's NOT him. It's me using a Yamaha keyboard to create a midi file of Art's music. You play the cd on any regular cd player. Every song listed on this is also on a recording. The difference: I use highly specialized synths to create the sounds. The cd sounds like my synths, not your sound card.

At times I experimented with sound by changing or adding instrumental sounds to piano solos. An example would be Tatum's renditons of "Sweet And Lovely", or "Swanee River." In both cases I added string parts and rhythm, but I always keep the piano solo as a separate selection.
An example: Swanee River, (piano solo), Swanee River-O (with orchestra).

Audio CDs

Usually all the songs one artist. If there are not enough tunes to fill the cd I add other artists in a similar style. All AUDIO cds are $15.00 ecah + $4.00 s/h. Be on the watch! I'll create a new web page, soon, to list the cds already created.
