Fan-Made Music
Hi

I like to imitate and remix ABBA using MIDI.

(Wiki page on MIDI. It can sound different on different computers depending on what instrument library you have, so keep that in mind.)

My best one so far is my mix of Just Like That.
To make this:
The song is of course composed by B&B :).
I borrowed parts from a MIDI I found (free) on the internet, arranged by Howard R Farrar.
If you listen, you can hear elements from Gemini's version (even the lyrics as a backing track)
It has also been heavily influenced by Jakaranda's version, particularly the loud baseline and drum style.

This MIDI is certainly not finished, but it is unlikely I will make much progress on it for a while (it's been in its current state for about 5 years :lol: ). Please ignore the intro (it's mainly Farrar's - although I have edited it), it's not anywhere near where I want it to be - mainly because it's so hard to find a suitable sax sound. The verse and chorus I am fairly proud of.

If there are any issues regarding the legality of posting this I appologise and by all means, remove the links or get me to do so. This file contains no recordings, simply melodies, and I am the one who arranged it.

I like it, too. Wish I could do that too, but it seems to be much too complicated for me.

Thanks guys :)

If you're looking for a good 'editor' I recommend Noteworthy Composer for beginners (freeware last time I checked). That's what I use.

Naturally there are people who think Noteworthy is rubbish, but I find the things that they like too fiddly (Sibelius).

Thanks Maxi


Pabilla, you didn't destroy it! Yeah ok, some bits are a bit choppy at the start, but that doesn't matter; we can hear what you wanted to achieve and most of it is perfect :D (However I can't hear any Gemini)
