Hey since everyone has a midi thread I'm going to join in.

If previous threads are any indication there won't be many responses, however, because of my suckage.

Since this is a blog there will be much ruminating and introspection. Frightening, huh.

The most recent full-length piece I did is "Amethyst Princess". I like this one a lot, particularly the rhythm (triplets and 5/8 + 3/8) but I'll probably redo the middle section so that the transition to B' sounds sufficiently orgasmic.

Lately I've been intrigued by the idea of 'bitelets', which are ~1-minute or so long pieces that I've whipped up occasionally for my speedmaps.

Here's a recent one.

I'll make a few more of these -- at least one today, hopefully.

This bitelet (which predates the term 'bitelet') remains my favorite thing I've done recently:

I'm not sure how I managed to do it, actually, especially since it was all composed under the span of 30 minutes. Inspiration! I tried to make something today and all of it was complete nonsense. 'Bitelet1.mid' isn't as good either, though I do like its ending.

Okay, enough yapper for now, there'll be plenty later.
