The MIDI Night Special

Episode 7 - Storm Boys and Scuba Teens

After taking a year long break, Ben and Tim return with two new podcast projects in the works... 'Storm Boys', and underwater radio drama 'Warhammer: Scuba Teens'. We hear excerpts from both. Tim and Ben also reveal their gymspirations, and try to make midis of a song they faintly remember hearing in a bar once.

Episode 6 - Axel F and the MIDI Night Book Club

Tim and Ben spread the MIDI gospel to banjo player Axel Carrington, sharing their own midi covers of his songs ("I Don't Feel at Home" by New Talk and "Loomis St." by The Fruity Whites).

They also revive the last ill-fated book club to review Pride and Prejudice again, and Ryan Alexander Diduck's book on MIDIs, "Mad Skills: MIDI and Music Technology in the 20th Century".

Some revelations are had and we may have to rename this podcast.

Episode 4 - The Curse of Monkey Magic, with Annie Morris

Filling in for Tim this episode is Annie Morris, creative director of the divisive Fringeworld show Monkey Magic (talked about in episode 3). Annie and Ben talk about how Monkey Magic's final screening went down and the controversy that followed. Later, we hear some pleasant anecdotes from Annie which give us a glimpse into the world of Perth's MIDI-est suburb, Morley.

I should stressed that they DID talk about MIDIs, but the audio file corrupted and half of the conversation was lost. Such is life.

Episode 3 - No Country For Old MIDI

It's back to school for Ben and Tim, who are neck deep in electronic composition assignments at WAAPA. With a deadline the next morning, the boys workshop their half finished MIDI covers of Guy Sebastian's Like It Like That.

Ben also shares a recent, harrowing Fringeworld experience seeing "Monkey Magic" at Perth's Brass Monkey. Then, using Tim's expertly curated MIDI collection, the boys give the Coen's classic "No Country For Old Men" a much needed soundtrack.

Episode 2 - What MIDIs Tim Talks About When He Talks About Running
