PAIDE PRESENTS JOYCE --- GI McBart MIDItape Finnegans Wake Remixed

The idea was to remix selected tunes from Krzysztof Bartnicki's soundcloud page. But they're not usual tracks as you may think:
"The sounds here are founded on sequences of 8 letters of James Joyce's 'Finnegans Wake'. As A's, B's C'd, D's, E's, F's, G's and H's of the world's weirdest book get to represent sounds, Joyce appears to have composed melodies we think others did. After he'd died."

'GI McBart MIDItape' is a recorded live mix version as a part of the showcase with Gerard Lebik and Robert Piotrowicz in Wroclaw, Poland on 14th February 2k14. 

note:
first track is: Oriol Rosell - Seidl 3(from [Crónica058-2011] Oriol Rosell - Ulrich Seidl EP)
last track is:  Paide - Szpaki / Starlings

Outcome:
Sequences of letters of the set {abcdefgh} were taken from James Joyce's "Finnegans Wake" and regarded as sounds. Durations established, they were arranged into several free variations on "Kopala studienku", the Slovak folk tune that had also been proposed by Bartók Bela.

Location of the sequences in "Finnegans Wake":
[A-way] FW 278.03-07
[B-way] FW 385.11-16
[C-way] FW 545.15-18
[D-way] FW 072.06-09
[E-way] FW 245.03-06
[F-way] FW 095.16-19
[G-way] FW 193.36-194.03

02 language

The melodies here are found in James Joyce's "Finnegans Wake". When sequences of its A's, B's C's, D's, E's, F's, G's and H's represent sounds, Joyce appears to have composed melodies we think others did.
