The Story of MIDIport

My track for The Story of MIDIport! This is actually based on a much older sketch from late 2020. Throughout the first half of the track you can hear chopped up waves sounds. This was in the original sketch, and I was inspired by Nokia's Feather alert which I heard for the first time back then, which also uses that effect.

Fast forward to 2024, and I've started the MIDIport project. After some pondering, I eventually decide to take that older sketch, adapt it to Nokia's large bank and build upon the composition further. The 11/8 section is actually reworked from a sketch I had previously written for this project. As for the composition itself, it's like jazzy R&B with some influences from 70s electronica and IDM. I hope you enjoy it!

Working with Beatnik Editor + loopMIDI is a pain though. :(

Dilapidated City

my interlude contribution to technomarina's first album "The Story of MIDIport" !!

all of this was made in MIDI (no audio samples/clips) and is playable in real time with the korg 03r/w

buying the compilation also gives you access to all the midis so you can hear the songs directly from the respective synths!

Fractured

Written for "The Story of MIDIport"

Paraphrased notes from the release:
"I started this track around 2024, when this project started, and I decided I'd use my Alesis S4 plus for it, for one because I enjoy the sounds it has, and for two because I don't see nearly enough people using it [...] I will say the S4 plus is better served when used alongside other synths, but surprisingly was very usable on its own - the lack of any real effects when used in a multi-timbral set up like this is a shame, but it served this track in this case. [...] I struggled to continue it for a while, and was also pretty busy with moving, work, life etc., but I managed to get it done in the end even if it's a bit shorter. It'd probably be a good demo track."
