Live Level 314

Post by thehackercat »

Okay, some of you may remember me suggesting a PCKF jam session a while back. Obviously, that didn't get off the ground, so after I got home from school today I decided to record the piano and sax tracks from _mr_m_'s song "Level 314" and jam along with the MIDI.

I limited myself to one take each, so I wouldn't get nitpicky. This also means that it's not that great. But I hope it will inspire some people to post some jams of their own!

(My greatest apologies to anyone who prefers their songs played by perfectly tuned instruments).

I originally used a clavinet, not a piano. :crazy

Also this song was meant to be in Keen 9 (Gigawaht made the cut instead), but it ultimately didn't appear.

This is still bloody brilliant!

Wait, does this song go by another name in the K9 Soundtrack outtakes, or where can I find the original MIDI?

No, not at all. 'Level 314' didn't make it into Keen 9 for some unknown reason; it's no big deal to me. I'm not sure if it was part of the 'outtakes,' but here's a link: DOWNLOAD

Hmmmmnnn....

In that case, might it be used for another project? It is a good song, pity to see it go to waste.

Sure! What'd you have in mind? I've had the IMF ready to import in my dropbox. Just let me know where you need it sent

loved that, and I would love to hear it in a mod, it is indeed a shame it didn't make it into Battle of the Brains, although... tbh now that I think about it, I'm not sure it would've fit anywhere in the mod really... lest I'm missing something. Regardless, Battle of the Brains' music was fantastic, and this would've been right up there with the rest of it.

I like this song! how about for HQP which is used by Commander Genius? Episode 1-3 get music using this package, nevertheless there is room for improvement. I think it would be also a good tune for Episode 2 or 3. As IMF we could integrate it if you want to.
Having fun developing stuff...
