"Claim" being my homepage, "Reality" being my music, they say different things. In fact the current music doesn't need to "say" anything, it just is what it is.

I think I see what you were/are saying.


Yes, I completely need to update the "homepage." I have a few homepages, Web Page Experience - Auto Slide Show - Page 1 has music, but a totally different reason and type of content.

"big difference between what you say..." is talking about what Givnology music page says, I assume. I am in complete agreement! I would even say, the reality expressed in the music page of Givnology falls away because with my new music nothing need be said, simply shared and heard.

WebPageExperience doesn't even talk about the music, though it is on every page, in two groups of 8 sounds. But that it "background" music, actually "splashes" or "needle-drops" such as in TV, video, film and multimedia.

Currently I have evolved from the "world music" kind of thinks I used to play, such as the videos in Givnology's music page, to the classical music I shared here.

I guess you would musically see this as an improvement, I sure do! many of my world music ex-buddies don't though!

I hope you don't think I've been arguing with you, I really appreciate that you took the time to look at the web page. I'm pretty much finished with that kind of music. It is only recently that I can solo/impromptu in 3/4 "waltz" this is where I seem to have brought some skill from my past music daze (pun intented).

In general, though, I consider synths and such "toys" nowadays, I wish I only played real full pianos, but of course sometimes you can't - one at the cottage would get ruined! So as I said, this is the only reason I use an electric piano here at the cottage - and then, on this Roland KR-33, the other advantage is that I can record and share MIDI files very easily - and efficiently, full songs in maybe 10K! And the main reason I find I need to share these new MIDI files..

I REEEEEALLY need to update my music pages other places, and at least let people know I play classical! I can see how I confused you.. sorry!

When I get software to set TAGS in MIDI files, like it is easy to do in MP3 music files, then I will be cross-categorizing like crazy, an example of that is an old music database page here:

Free Music Samples and Custom Playlist Creation

See... I want to have categories including piano, solo, classical, Chopin, Beethoven, etc.. and the impromptu (I will simply use that word instead of solo - from now on! Yay!) based on Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata will fit a few categories. I could then choose to play only the Beethoven category - including solos and full pieces. One piece I modified a Chopin into a bossanove, it would be in the Chopin category - but not the classical one (anymore!) hah! I have downloaded over a dozen softwares to manage MIDI tags, I have question topics in at least 8 forums, no answer to that yet..

Tags for MIDI files, OS9 mac, tanx! :: The Artly There Forum

Meanwhile I just keep reading Bach, Chopin and such... but I also practice my impromptu in more new keys every day! Impromptuing? Is that a word?

Thanks for discussioning this with me Naiomai! Without you I wouldn't have had reason to explain so much!

Love and light being, Teo Do (Re, Mi, Fa, So, Laaaa!..)
