Indeed, this novel use for educational music softwares makes them converged media, “characterized by functional multiplicity:” producing trippy visual for electronic music, where glissando emulate lazer sounds, or stammered accords are percussions, and its typical use as a music playing learning software (Adoni and Nossek 10-11). According to Adoni and Nossek theory about media life cycle, these reactions could be explained by the fact these viewers have a preexisting literacy about a piano-like environment, and about music in general, in which a controlled simplicity are viewed as superior to apparent frenetic chaos (11-12). The most common is a ‘knee-jerk’ disgust for the form: amateur, garbage, noise, and, probably considering the educational program visual, surprisingly many arguments that it had no value since it was impossible to be played by humans (Hackers News, Fark). There are a range of typical reactions to this type of content. The result is a mesmerizing and absurdly intense multi-sensory video, that leave no viewer unmoved. Because of the ridicule size of the MIDI files, which would cause the programs to lag and/or crash if attempted to be played at normal speed, ‘blackers’ have ingenuously resorted to record the songs as they played extremely slowly, and video-edited them after to have them at normal speed (Gingeas). The other key characteristic of the Black MIDI genre is the visuals that accompany the tracks: multicolored notes raining on virtual piano keyboards of typically educational programs such as Synthesia or Piano From Above (Impossible Music Wiki). The song is said to have been reposted ‘somewhere in 2010’ to YouTube, introducing the genre to the Western world, but falsely titling it “john stump – death waltz,” in reference to the unplayable parody song written by American composer John Stump in 1980: “Faerie’s Aire and Death Waltz,” which has a similar looking score - a mistake, or a tongue-in-cheek reference that anchors this type of ‘impossible’ music in the tradition of experimental composition (Impossible Music Wiki, lucarelli). This song by COOL&CREATE was first featured in the 9th instalment of famous Japanese ‘bullet-hell’ video game serie Touhou : Phantasmagoria of Flower View, and is already of itself fast paced and dense, fitting perfectly the frantic mood of the Touhou serie, and in a way setting the tone for the excess of Black MIDI (Impossible Music Wiki). Owen was Her?”, conversely the same song as the one featured in the video I am analyzing (Impossible Music Wiki, Shirasagi Yukki Kuro Yuki Gohan). The first Black MIDI video ( figure on the left) have been posted on Japanese video-sharing platform Nico Nico Douga by user Shirasagi Yukki Kuro Yuki Gohan on April 30th, 2009, and was itself a remixed, collaged, homage version of many MIDI files of the song “U.N. If one were to look at these songs’ sheet music notation, because of the obscene numbers of quasi-simultaneous notes, playing accords and harmonies through many octaves, the individual notes become undistinguishable, and the score appears blackened, hence the name of this musical genre (Impossible Music Wiki). Like its title suggests, this video is exemplary of a YouTube sub-culture called Black MIDI, in which people contribute modified versions of songs MIDI files that contains at least hundred of thousands of notes, most of which are so short that they are barely audible. Owen Was Her 110 million / “Death Waltz” / Last Brutal Sister Flandre S. There's still some limitations (no support for multiple virtual cables or clock synchronization) and not all possible and valid MIDI 1.For this assignment, I have decided to analyze a YouTube video posted by user Gingeas on January 1st, 2015: “ U.N. What makes BLE even more interesting for music-related projects is the fact that Apple introduced support for MIDI over BLE since iOS 8 (and OS X 10.10 Yosemite), and the MIDI Manufacturers Association adopted the specification in June 2015. In fact, this is not the first Arduino-compatible board featuring BLE connectivity, but what makes it unique is the fact that you won't have to sacrifice any existing pin/functionality like SPI to use it. What makes it so appealing? The price point (~35 €/$) and the integrated BLE capabilities, which are not using any of the existing "traditional" Arduino pins.
MIDITRAIL NOTE LIMIT 32 BIT
The Arduino/Genuino 101 is a very powerful board featuring an Intel® Curie™ module, which includes a 32 bit SoC (an Intel® Quark™ plus an Argonaut RISC Core EM processor), a 6-axis combo accelerometer/gyroscope and much more flash/ram memory (196kB/24kB) than a regular Arduino Uno while keeping the same form factor and pinout.
