Returning to my minimalist Lo-Fi minimalism, bringing the vintage SP0256A-AL2 speech synthesizer to a Philip Glass opera...

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".

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 :)

Somewhat amusingly I note that my last #LoFiOrchestra release was exactly 1 year ago today too...
I really ought to get it out more :)

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

I don't know about you, but I get definite fairground organ vibes off this one!

Saturn, The Bringer of Old Age.
From the gentle rocking chords in the opening through the ponderous bass line, then off-beat timpani, to the complex cross-rhythm floating runs near the end, Saturn is often overlooked.

Part two of ELO's Concerto for a Rainy Day for #MusicAdventCalendar .
I particularly like what the flutey sounds do in this one.

Todays #MusicAdventCalendar is in four parts. It is the Lo-Fi Orchestra's interpretation of ELO's Concerto for a Rainy Day (feels quite apt at the moment over here...).

Look out for parts 2,3,4 at various points today :)

Go grab your towels for day 4 of the #MusicAdventCalendar
It's the Journey of the Sorcerer, originally by The Eagles, but made (more?) famous by a story about a certain intergalactic repository of all wisdom and knowledge.
