La Valse Des Papillons

dougsparling

Written: 2004
Composer: Doug Sparling

Midi demo written in vi on a Linux laptop.

Piano music created at the command line on a Linux laptop.

These are the first tunes I composed after switching from performing to writing. I don’t own a piano, but I was inspired by David Nevue piano playing, which I heard by chance one night on the radio.

Written with LilyPond on Linux and vi text editor and exported to midi.
Midi tweaked with Midge (Perl script).
Audio rendered to wav with TiMidity++ and piano sound font.
