| I'll jump in here...
Didn't hear the Jarre thing but the 'Winners' disk was a total
loser...both sides. The piano solo was technically nice but the
music was idiotic. The Fairlight thing with Regan was also technically
adept (not that tough on a Fairlight anyway) but also brainless
and insulting.
On another note I really don't think the sonic quality of thoses
disks is worth s*** anyway.
Notice how generally positive a guy I am? :-)
I wanna hear something new from Sauter...

| re: .1--I don't have anything new, but I have translated a bunch
of piano rolls to Roland's MIDI file format, and I can now play
them on my pair of TX7s. In my spare time (rather little lately)
I have been trying to print MIDI files as sheet music.

| I was beggining to despair about you guys ever wanting to talk about
the music. Over here in the U.K. we get KEYBOARD about 3 weeks after
all you people and consequently I haven't yet heard the JARRE efforts.
As to the 2 winners well the Jazz piece was fairly uninspiring and
the GGGGGGod awful fairlight piece was pretty duff also. However
I bet the guys who did the work enjoyed it and I was really interested
in listening to other peoples efforts and isn't that wat it's all
about ?

| The last one I really enjoyed was the cut from "The Magic Egg" by
Michael Boddicker in the June 1985 issue. I have always enjoyed
his keyboard work and this was no exception.

Just curious; In what sense is 'God's Greatest Gift' "brainless"?
Please no angry responses, I'm not challenging you.

Just to take my note in .3 a stage further I would be realy interested
in listening to some of the work other people interested in this
subject produce. It is very difficult to gauge one's attempts at
this artform and would be great to listen to someone else's stuff
for a change. I am sure you gusy could send me tapes using the internal
mail system. The address is Paul Kent mailstop MCO in the U.K.
Any takers ?

| Hello. this is Karl Moeller from Tucson AZ... I agree with Karl
Malik about the pieces in KEYBOARD. The sampled one was headache
city. The KEYBOARD guys have a major investment in boosting this
type of work. Buy those sequencers ! MIDI the world together...
and the solo piano piece, a chunk of latenite supperclub 'jazz'
doodling, feels to me like a sop to those antiquates still into
solo piano. I was very disappointed.
On another hand, I enjoyed the Kurzweil thing with Patrick Moraz
and Bill Bruford very much. Not enough to rush out and buy,
however.
I feel the tape exchange idea has some merit. Any other players
out there with tapes they're proud of ???

| 257.8 | Watch tapes through internal mail | VOGON::GOODENOUGH | Jeff Goodenough, IPG Reading-UK | Tue Mar 11 1986 07:32 | 6 |
| Re: .6 I doubt if a tape would make it through internal mail, unless
you went through all the official customs channels. I tried it
once (it was a home computer cassette) and it vanished off the face
of the earth.

| re. 8
You may be right but I am sure we could arrange something in th
e U.K..
And I would be happy to try to send a tape to The U.S.
P.K.
