Made by our very own Jake "Virt" Kaufman. The beat is fucking awesome. I just can't stop listening to it. Stylish video, too. Check out the other ones.

Hahaha, virt pwns again (Pardon the possible over statement XD).

This is definitely one tune that's snazzy to listen to. I also really liked how the video was synchronized with the music XD.

Neat-o, a hexagon looks like a nice way to visualize tertian harmony.

That may be the catchiest midi ever, but the greatest *name* for a midi ever has to go to that other mix, The Fighting Illini Become Huge Ninja Robots and Take the Championship. Rawk.

This is IT.

This is what music looks like for me.

Well pretty much, anyway. The hexagon (linked cells) sections when I'm passive, and sometimes the pianorolls if I focus hard enough. Not quite has accurate.


Btw, very trippy to hear a song and "see it" and see it at the same tim so that you "hear it".

My brain may be overloading.

From virt's site. Has all the "kwakfest" contest entries including his. However, virt has upped the quality of the version playing in that video, 'cause the one in this zip is the original version.

Oh well, we can always wait for his CD. :)

My old joke-band, Math Blaster wrote one of our greatest "hits" this way, except it took us about 4 minutes. Coincidentally, the song was about having to pee really bad.

But seriously... this Kwakfest thing sounds kinda nifty. I don't go into the Compo forum often enough to know if we're already doing something like this (I always forget it's there), but if we aren't, I'd be really interested in getting something like this started with the OCR community. Sometimes my best stuff comes when I'm pressed for time and I have to do it quickly.

Also, this song is like funky sex.

I wish this thing wasn't so damn expensive, because it looks cool and I want to try it.

But I really want to know what programs Virt used to visualinate his MIDI like that.

EDIT: NM, found it (http://www.musanim.com/player/).

Holy fuck, I'm just amazed that he wrote/sequenced that in 55 minutes. That's pretty fucking incredible.

HOWEVER

I suppose the reason it's so incredible to me is because I can't actually play piano/keyboard! I suppose if I was a talented multi-instrumentalist like him, it wouldn't be quite as "fucking incredible," but maybe just "super awesome" or something.
