 Mori: I was digging around in my '98 laptop for records reasons and... guys. Preinstalled on it is a whole slew of MIDI files of classical music, including Fur Elise, Clair de Lune, and In the Hall of the Mountain King. It's putrid. I can't stop listening to it. It is a thing of awe and horror, distilled into '90s computer game audio format.

When I started playing it, Bob dashed in like Pavlov's dog hearing a dinner bell.

We're just all grouped around Obsolete, listening with expressions of astonishment and pity as it does its damnedest to sing its little pre-Y2k heart out through its speakers. I might have to save these to a floppy disk and use them as phone alarms or something.

I am baffled as to why this antique still runs as well as it does.

EDIT: OH LORD IT HAS BACH'S BRANDENBURG CONCERTO

There is such a charm to like, songs that have been converted to midi. There are people that just used something to automate it. Some were terrible, some weren't that bad. Some I miss having the ability to swap instrument sets because it made them sound better.

Admittedly one of my first every Nine Inch Nails tracks I ever heard, was Via midi. I had no idea it was Nine Inch Nails until years later when I finally could listen to the whole discography.

That being said, I still have a collection of mod trackers and I have them on my playlist and I always get a blast from the past when they appear on my random sort on my player lol

Mori: I'm not sure I could call these MIDIs GOOD, but if you want them, I'm already grabbing the files for Rhymers, you're welcome to copies if you want! It's maybe like half a dozen little classical music tunes? There's also a couple 80s sounding little instrumental tracks, gives a feeling of like, a 90s racing game driving through a cool landscape, if you want those.
