NOTE ON PLAYING MIDI FILES: All my MIDI works are meant to be played using the standard Microsoft GS Wavetable. Usage of any other wavetable will give unintended results. By all means experiment if you have the capability, but please be aware that what you end up with will not be what I intended!
Also, some MIDI files played on Winamp before version 5.3 (and it appears, after 5.541) will not play correctly. If you use Winamp, please up/downgrade to a version between 5.3 and 5.541 (incl), or alternatively, download this version or go here where you can download ANY version of Winamp.

| Fast-moving sequenced synth pieces done on the Yamaha CX5M computer. It sounds great but was very time-consuming to do on primitive MIDI equipment. NOTE: Any resemblance to "Steel Monkey" by Jethro Tull is entirely coincidental.

This is an mp3 mixdown of the original piece made on the CX5M. Part 2 had a 'scratch' vocal track added for inclusion on the Interface album. I've included all the CX5M data here too for anybody who can make use of it. NEW: This piece is included in the zip file available on MegaUpload along with a few other electronic works of mine. |

This is the new 14 minute version made in 2006 with MIDI instruments. The original CX5M MIDI data was copied across to my modern Pentium 4 and used as the basis of this piece; the instruments being re-assigned as closely as I could to the original sounds. The remainder of the work was written in March 2006, with a short reprise at the end utilising two of the original themes played simultaneously on two pianos to bring the movement to an abrupt close. This is part 1 of a suite consisting of four parts. To hear the whole work, go here |
