Pirate Music Theory


Have you ever wanted to play your keyboard and summon a sound that evoked thoughts of tragic sea voyages? Perhaps after seeing pirates of the carrabean 2 or 3 you would have (think: Mr Davy Jones and his pipe organ).

Well, here is how to get an erry, erring, haunting, and sad song out of your midi keyboard:

For the main part/melody of the song use only the red keys in the picture above for the most part (you can sometimes use one black key here and there for effect). For the bass just use the blue keys (IE: any black key in the lower registers).

Play somewhat slow and delibratly for the most part. At times fail to syncronize the sounding of the melody with the bass (have it off kilter).

Nice post... Looks like flash memory is really beginning to take off. Hopefully we'll start seeing decreasing SSD prices real soon. Five dollar 32 gig Micro SD Cards for your DS flash card... sounds good to me!
