  1. @boscoandpeck Ah, if you want to hear more of the percussion, the two best ones are probably the Sky Toccata (has a kit feel) or, with a starring relay role, Ravels Bolero... (all 14+ minutes of it) :)

  3. Apparently this year (I've never seen it other years anyway), people are posting things in 5/4 time as it is 5/4 in US style date-writing...

    So I give you, Mars from The Planets as performed by my Lo-Fi Orchestra, because, well, why not?

  5. @MakersHour A5 I feel like I'm cheating here as in true Blue Peter style I have several I made earlier - any of my #LoFiOrchestra would do :)

  7. On the last weekend before Christmas, here is my only other 8-bit festive tune.

    This #LoFiOrchestra performance presents the Carol of the Bells, in an arrangement based on Robert Buckley's rhapsodic "Let the Bells Ring".

  9. @MakersHour Speaking of which, here's some #LoFiOrchestra Christmas Hely Hutchinson... which you may recognise from the theme tune to The Box of Delights. Or may not.

  11. @sam I could add several new string sections and double the brass of my #LoFiOrchestra I guess...

    Maybe I need to arrange some Mahler symphonies!

  13. And my "go to" demo for Arduino tones - an arrangement of the throne room and end titles for Star Wars Episode IV for my #LoFiOrchestra tones.

    Now running on #AY38910 chips :)

  15. @[email protected] @[email protected] A1 Oops, nearly forgot #MakersHour! Kevin here.

    My most outlandish makes still have to be performing major classical works on 8-bit microcontrollers.

    From Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, to Holst's complete Planets Suite, to Ravel's Bolero, to John Cage's 4'33".

    Something for everyone I'm sure you'll agree!!

    makertube.net/c/lofiorchestra/

    (and yes, it's probably about time I did another one...)

  17. Somewhat amusingly I note that my last #LoFiOrchestra release was exactly 1 year ago today too...

    I really ought to get it out more :)

  19. Here is the performance, which for practicality reasons, I've had to cut short at around 4 minutes.

    But in the true spirit of minimalism, with this short sketch I see no reason why this couldn't last the entire duration of the original opera and more...

  21. Minimalist, Lo-Fi, programmatic minimalism.

    I've implemented a Lo-Fi Orchestra, Arduino version of an extract of Philip Glass' Einstein on the Beach. More specifically, part of Knee Play 1.

    In this version the HT16K33 is performing the voice number parts alongside a synthesizer for organ and voice sounds.

  23. And this is playing my #LoFiOrchestra version of Mercury from Holst's Planets Suite through it.

  25. And here we are - the last day of the #MusicAdventCalendar.

    I've saved my other Christmas tune for today - it is the Lo-Fi Orchestra's rendition of the Carol of the Bells, based on Robert Buckley's rhapsodic arrangement "Let the Bells Ring".

    And with that I extend compliments of the season to all.

    (I'll boost again later)

  27. And so here we are. The penultimate #MusicAdventCalendar and it has to be the Lo-Fi Orchestra interpretation of Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture in full.

    One day I will re-record this with party poppers at the end... for now we have Arduino LED "fireworks".

  29. Here's an early #MusicAdventCalendar today - The March to the Scaffold from Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique.

    I might sneak another bonus one in later :)

  31. And here's a bonus #MusicAdventCalendar simply because I quite like this one and was running out of slots, and, well, it's the weekend, so why not...

    Another slightly random Rimsky-Korsakov piece this time from a ballet - the Procession of the Nobles from Mlada.

    Some nice tone (brass) fanfares in this one :)

  33. Day 19 of #MusicAdventCalendar is a Lo-Fi, Instrumental Performance of John Miles' "Music".

    "Music is my first love, and it will be my last. Music of the future and music of the past".
