Keyboard music......

[Mrinterface]

Anybody good at developing electronic music? I recently started taking an interest in developing music , with songs being made of samples from real life sounds. Since nobody ever made a song composed of sampled keyswitch sounds I thought to take on the challenge. My library of samples has grown quiet a lot since the last keyboard party at Best!
If anybody is interested in co-developing this , please PM me. You don't need to have a lot of musical development experience ( neither do I ) and fun is guaranteed!

Good luck!

I look forward to your first composition

What exactly were you thinking of? Got any style you're shooting for?

[Mrinterface]

Classical music themed on a synthesizer ( check Tomita for examples )
I want to bring the story of the fall and revival of mechanical keyboards.
Somehow each switch has its own mood.
rubber dome : brittle , fragile, cheap
Buckling spring : heavy, solid, very loud
Cherry Mx : versatile, light, sweet
Alps : dampened, loud
Topre : oriental, soft, solid

Forgot to add the linear classics like bbc micro, memotech, acorn atom etc. What mood shall I give those ??;-)

Given they were big in the 80s, you should make drum machine sounds from the samples. With some pitch-shifting and a bit of gated reverb you're away.

Gonna use the following music from movies/albums and somehow transform it with keyswitch samples:
Star wars imperial theme
Carmina Burana
Lux aeterna
Lord of the rings
Mozarts Requiem

All very powerful pieces... I guess the ominous star wars deathstar theme will be used for the introduction of the rubber domes

Am I forgetting something ?

Live programming can be done with a lot of other editors too.

yes, but how would you get that glowing highlighting

also, lisp inside of emacs makes sense.

Okay... I still prefer playing synthesizers using a MIDI keyboard, thank you very much.

Playing a keyboard? Meh, I was lazy and built my own sequencer.
