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.

once again,,, very wonderful,,,,, i will have to check out mr nevue these tunes all have a certain cleanness and simplicity that i find intoxicating (simplicity is a complement as far as i am concerned, it takes a high degree of skill to be both simple and interesting and excellent all at the same time,, at least as far as i am concerned) well well played/keyed R
