OK, so this isn't EDM-related, but I saw this over on the Sonar forums and figured I'd share. I studied this masterpiece (Igor Stravinsky's 'Le Sacre du Printemps' [The Rite of Spring]) for my senior thesis way back when I was a music theory/composition major and I can't even imagine the amount of work that went into sequencing this.

These are the first two parts - apparently, the last two parts are in mp3 format only. |

That's cool. I've seen some orchestral MIDI's (there's some on Vienna's site) and there's just loads and shiloads of automation going on. I can't even imagine how much time you have to spend on MIDI and automation if you want your orchestral pieces to sound even remotely organic/human.
Here's a few links from me :) Take a listen to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XOkpGCM1xY - they've said in an interview that this entire piece is done in a sequencer in piano roll. No shuffle, swing, quantize or whatever :)
Can't understand how their brains didn't implode while making this.
The craziest MIDI I came across was someone transcribing a twelve tone technique piece (I think it was Bartok but I'm not sure) into MIDI. If you're not familiar with this take a listen at this sonata: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uanfKvqlj3M
Granted, it wasn't the entire piece but still.
While we're on this subject; There are videos of people playing this type of music without a staff :) Meaning they know it by heart. Think about how much time and dedication is needed for this. |
