The first few pieces of music that I came up with, using this wonderful tool, were too nice to be considered listenable. Also, most of the sound samples that I had at the time were Monty Python type things. Now that I have found a few more musical sounds ( drums , synthesisers and stuff ) I have a much narrower choice of sound ( sound weird ? ), simply meaning that voices and speech are out, synthesisers are in. Anyway, this is the first piece of music that I could say I have completed, and here it is. Please listen to it. Please email me your comments ( criticism either way would be dearly appreciated ). My background in music is purely experimental. I have had about six recorder lessons in my life so can not call myself a musician as such. But when I was thirteen, I discovered a love for playing acoustic guitar ( the type with nylon strings) and electronics. So I taught myself guitar, bought a bunch of electronics, and started playing with tape recorders and oscillators. 'Negligent' is constructed ( showing my mechanical attitude toward music ) in the style of Tangerine Dream, but is not in any great way similar to any piece of theirs, as far as I know. At first I worked on NoiseTracker. Then when I discovered that if you keep clicking the insert gadget and the length of the piece goes past 128 blocks, you push the last blocks off the end. I.e it cannot handle a module of length more than 128 blocks. Not only that, but IntuiTracker will crash ( sometimes ). In short, neither program will recognise any blocks after number 127, So I moved it to Med ( Another great piece of software by the Finnish guy whose name escapes me currently ). This is my explanation for why there are two versions. The first is the full Med version that I am reasonably happy with. The second is an edited down version especially for NoiseTracker and IntuiTracker. You will have noticed the NoiseTracker song dump above, which I have edited to show the blocks of both versions. Hooray for Cmd device redirection :-)... The full version goes for around 10:40 minutes. Any further queries about this please contact me at burton@latcs1.oz.au or the mail address below.
