EARLY MUSIC MIDI

This channel posts videos containing electronic renditions of music from the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque periods. I collected MIDI files from various websites, tweaked them with a music editor app and sequenced them into virtual concerts. I tried to re-create the sounds of ancient instruments (shawm, crumhorn, sackbut, viol, medieval harp, lute, natural trumpet, cornetto etc.) by mixing different electronic tones or by adjusting their presets. For visuals, I used mostly public domain photos of paintings, sketches and sculptures (or silent videos) from Pinterest, Pixabay and Wikipedia, or I cropped manuscript pages from digital libraries or IMSLP.org. I used the Yamaha program Vocaloid 4 to convert lyrics into voice simulations. I sometimes revise earlier uploads whenever I discover a new fix to a previous limitation. I have, on occasion, rendered modern music inspired by pre-1800s styles.
