You Can Make Music Online

By Thirky Marso


Think about the instruments used in writing songs, and then think of the variations of those which are used in different acoustics. Now, think about being able to enter the notes of a song and choose to have it played on the piano. One more choice and you could change it to a Honky-Tonk piano.

This type of traditional identification continues across the board, when someone who is famous performs a song like Classic Gas, it is expected to be a guitar song. Modifying things to some other instrument can create a difficult song become humanly impossible, like playing that song on a banjo, instead of the guitar.

When Bach wrote the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, he probably never thought it would become the theme song associated with old horror movies. Nonetheless, it is about a high on the scale of difficulty as any song can get. Using modern technology such a song could be a dozen Hawaiian guitars attempting to add their soothing qualities to the performance.

A Saxophone was the instrument used by Boots Randolph in performing his famous song Yakety Sax, and the rapid triple tonguing action is notorious for its difficulty rating. But, some curious things could be accomplished by changing those brassy notes to the almost screeching sounds of an orchestral sting section. Such things might only be possible through computer technology.

It might well have never crossed the mind of Scott Joplin as he wrote the famous song The Entertainer using a crisp sounding piano that it might some day be altered through the use of computers. But, this is another work that is identified with a certain instrument, and could have a unique delivery if played by having the piano part done by Tiffany drums.

The technology involved in electronics, and the software it provides, presents a creative combination which can bring the otherwise impossible to life. When they are available through an Internet connection to a place that houses the software, there could be some very entertaining results that make music online.
