Inurys - 8 Bit, Arranged
 Inurys, 1:34 | Its 8-bit night! On Saturday or Sunday I'll post a new live recording, but, from now on, Wednesday is the day I'm posting old MP3 files of stuff I've arranged. Tonight's piece is "Inurys." Click Here for information on MUSICIAN I I composed this piece on my family’s 1935 Kimball upright as a teen. It, like most of my early tunes, started out as a neat (to my ears) sounding eighth-note progression on the left hand, with the melody being improvised afterwards. But through repetition, the melody ends up solidifying and by the time I started using MusicianI I had stopped improvising and had a short but complete tune. I started by programming in the eighth note progression and then the melody, and I was reasonably happy with it. But I wanted it to sound different than it did on the piano and I wanted some percussion. I had just finished making “TheBeat” and figured I was ready for it. Drums never sound very good in Musician I, as it uses the white-noise generator in the OPL3 to do them. Nonetheless, I think the drums sound alright in this piece. I then added the violin to provide a little harmony, and I have a cute little electronic bit o' music. My biggest problem with this, and most of my MusicianI compositions, is length. It was so time consuming to program in the music that I usually ended pieces early and then didn’t know what to do to lengthen them afterwards. (Musician I didn’t have an insert function) |

I think I was lonely. Its a little hard to remember, because it was so many years ago. It is really a very simple piece...
The left hand plays
1 2 4 1 2 3 1 2
1 2 4 1 2 3 1 2
and then changes chords and does it again. :)
Thats it! Then I play the melody with my right hand. But, and here's the trick, every note of the melody line is shared with one of the notes in the current chord being played with the left hand. This makes it really easy to come up with a melody, although the result is one that is very simple sounding.
