Mick O´Neill´s MIDI Files ...
I'm glad to add, apart to Steve Day and H.D. Schulze, another great sequencer of hits of the past decades to my humble pages: Mick O´Neill from Queensland, Australia. Mick recently contacted me after he visited a.b.s.m for the first time. He had some basic questions about how things are going on a.b.s.m and how to post MIDIs. Fortunatly he included a ZIP with some of his MIDIs which i liked right away - so we made the usual deal: he concentrates on MIDIs, i puzzle around with the HTML stuff. Scroll down for the rest of the story ,-)
...and have fun with the results ,-)
Mick about his musical background...
My musical background is very humble. I am 100% self taught, I have never had any lessons of any type whatsoever, and have never participated in any musical performances. I neither sing nor play a musical instrument, although I can pick out the odd tune on a keyboard. All of the sequences thus far have been entered by point and click. I have recently purchased a keyboard for myself, and am currently trying to improve my abilities on it, so that I can play in my sequences.
I am a computer programmer/systems analyst. I consider myself a musical technician. I understand the principles of music, and seem to be able to apply them logically to create the sounds that I do. I have worked in the recording industry in the past, in technical and administrative roles. I have had a love of music, particularly classic rock music, for many, many years, and have always wanted to be able to make the music myself, but have never had the oportunity until the advent of MIDI. This form of music making seems to suit my inherent abilities, so I am persuing the medium with full gusto.
I use a multitude of sequencing programs, but my 3 favorites are Noteworthy Artware, Orchestrator Plus, and a little shareware job called Music Sculptor. Noteworthy has a beautiful interface for the manual entry and editing of music. Orchestrator Plus is brilliant for adding the nice little effects that can go into a MIDI eg: Mixing, chorus, reverb, etc.) The only MIDI keyboard I have is a very basic little job called the "Creative Blasterkeys", which ONLY operates through the computer. Music Sculptor allows the playing of a track, with true reproductive echo through the sound card.
