Ding dong fan-music

Jan has composed an impressive eleven and a half minute long Pirates Of The Caribbean medley to "share with the community". Before you 56kers start despairing, though, its worth pointing out at this point that its all just one big MIDI, which in landlubbers terms basically means that youll have it downloaded and blasting through your speakers in no time. Get it here.

Well, I can offer an MP3 of it too... but I thought MIDI would gain more interest in the first place...

MIDI makes it a lot faster to download but to fully apreciate it an MP3 would be nice. :) I dunno if we'll put up the MP3 as well, unless it's remixed enough. Otherwise someone could just download the songs off Kazzaa or something. Still, I love the MIDI and think it's top work! Keep 'em coming.

I could convert it to an MP3, but I don't have the ability (much less the bandwidth) to upload it. It'd just be the MIDI converted into MP3 format anyway...(iTunes has an MP3 converter that works fairly well)

Personally, I wouldn't have minded the long download for an MP3 with better quality than a MIDI. I think it's good, though, especially for a MIDI--you usually don't get ones of this quality.

Thanks for the offer, Tyraa. But I think I'll leave it in MIDI-format for now. I have contacts to a guy who could make an MP3 of it using GigaStudio (the synthesizer Clint Bajakian, Jeremy Soule and Hans Zimmer use), so that'll sound much better than anything you or I can do... maybe I'll let him convert the thing some later time, but it would be easier for you to get the real soundtrack from PotC... and it wouldn't be a waste of money at all. Go, get it for Christmas! It's still time!

Yeah, overall it's a fantastic soundtrack for a fantastic movie.

On an unrelated note, I had a weird dream inwhich I was sailing around the Caribbean and I stopped over at this island and was majorly overpriced for my supper. :(
