Imagainary Interviewer - Wasn't the following piece, zm12, created for your own personal enjoyment and because you find it fun to copy famous people? Peter Andrew Lopez - Your research is impreccable II. I don't even have to be here...i mean i shouldn't have wasted my time doing this... In 2001, during work, I surfed the net for every version of 'Also sprach Zarathustra' available in MIDI format. There were just over a dozen. I imported them in Premiere so that the "dah dah" entry begins at the same point for all tracks, so the very beginning, where the MIDI sound of the composers choice tone comes in, is earlier for some versions than others, and, beyond the "dah dah" things begin to smear, because none of the versions are in exactly the same tempo, so the degree of the smear increases as it goes along, and some versions end about 10 seconds later then others. Towards the end of the track after the smearing effect you can easily recognize "High School Marching Band Separation Syndrome". II - It starts off with the theme from the beginning of the 2001 arcade game and ends up sounding more like the Langley School Marching Band later on, when they're at the big game against their high school rivals, the dreaded "On Keystadors". PAL - This is dreadful. So I figured I'd jazz it up by throwing in the New Age and the Disco House Party versions to create zm14. I didn't spend any of my youth wondering about music, since constantly all day I was bombarded by pop tunes, golden oldies, jazz commericals and other soundbites made to ignore, and most of them sounded the same. I really couldn't tell you much about the difference between all these version of Also sprach Zarathustra, but one of them (aszintro.mid) has a really funny off tone horn towards the end which gets washed out in zm12, since i can't mix for shit. mp3 versions at: zm12 http://www.noneinc.com/sound/zm/zm12.mp3 zm14 http://www.noneinc.com/sound/zm/zm14-newagediscohouseparty.mp3 MIDI http://www.noneinc.com/sound/zm/ Specal thaks to all the composers of the MIDI files John Oswald Norm http://www.plunderphonics.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/plunderphonia and all the people i choose to forget
