Seven Quarantine Poems - Complete MIDI (Patreon)

Here it is, all 5437 notes + sustain pedal movements recorded via MIDI from a Yamaha Disklavier piano.
For those unaware of what this does, it allows you to import it into virtually any DAW or MIDI sequencer and play the entire album through whatever plugin, sound, speed, pitch, etc. This is the first time I've done anything like this, but I thought it'd be a great way to allow people to listen to it the way they want, study the chords, or take and use parts they like in their own improvisations.
A few notes:
- Not everything will be 100% perfect timing, simply due to MIDI's limitations. If you notice the timing being off from the original, then you probably have a superpower. It'll still be 99.99% perfect and indistinguishable to the human ear.
- Ignore the tempo. This was played with various metronomes just as a rough guide, and at times I completely tuned them out. If you want to isolate a part for a loop or something, you might have to quantize it or move around some of the notes.
- RIGHTS: If you improvise your own version, I don't mind. If you make something completely different with it, I don't mind. If you run the MIDI directly through a Kontakt piano and release it as your own, I'll mind, but it won't matter because IP/copyright detection will surely pick up that it's the same as the previously published piece.
Speaking of that, I can't guarantee that the robo-copyright-police won't detect a melody regardless of use. I have little to no power over that whole thing. This also does not give you the right to license my music, meaning that if Pepsi wanted to use a disco song you made with a part of this MIDI being the melody, then I, by US copyright law, own the "master" side of that license and, again, by law, cannot transfer it, but only license it.
Finally, you may not resell this MIDI or distribute it as a tool for producers. Not because of my preferences, but because it'll just result in headaches. Sorry I have to be technical here, but just so there's no misunderstandings or problems!
Welp. Enjoy!
