Midi Files midi is an acronym for musical instrument digital interface. It has helped musicians to communicate since the 1980's. By today's standards it is rather crude and slow, but every P.C. with a soundcard can play midi sequences.
Even the nastiest soundcards contain a synthesiser. But today for only 30 quid, you can get a soundcard with far better sound than that used on most of the best recordings of all time.

A soundfile saved with a (.mid) suffix is a sequence or tune which you can play out of your p.c. speakers. In most cases the standard p.c. software can play these, and even your internet browser. I am a great fan of the computer midi format, and have embedded many tunes into the pages of this website. They are accurate and very tiny.
Here are the ones so far :-

Sound best if you download them and play them with your player...

1) Soul Limbo - The Cricket Theme 46kb used on How to make friends and Influence People

2) Jesus Toilet Seat Instrumental 2kb used on Winscale homepage originally written by Chris, this is the cocktail bar version, with only upright bass and piano. Many times I've tried to add some tasteful jazzy drums, but just can't capture Matt's timing..

3) Sympathy para el diablo 36kb used on Bishtastic this was initially instigated by Bish and he collaborated at various stages

4) Orion by Metallica 30kb but in a humorous light jazzy fashion Wait for the fun at bar 13, and don't leave until you've heard the breakdown at the end

5) Welcome Home (Piano version 12mb) or (violin version 11mb)

6) An almost ridiculous SCA/Reggae version of Angela (theme from taxi) 23kb used in Cabbies Brain Theory feature page

7) Peculiar music for a peculiar world, written by me. A sort of Blur B side. 7kb it's supposed to be funny! - If you think it's going wrong, then you're missing the point . . .
