You don’t know me
and you don’t know him
but you should feel
the impact
of today
of this day
years ago
you should stop
and take a breath
the world should stop spinning and listen
should rest
a second
a minute
a day
a month or a year
to acknowledge

5 What
11 x 18 in. mixed up media.
Every artist has pieces that never work out as well as they want. The masters just painted over them until they liked it enough to keep...I don't by any stretch compare myself to them, but I am an artist...and I have pieces that don't appeal to me as well as others...I present you with "5 What"
Dear Ken, I prefer you other pictures which may confirm your feelings about this one "don't working out" buth you remarks hit the point: Sometimes you have to forget the (big?) ego and declare it done. You've learned - even if it's not good (in your eyes/ears) - so, you improved or just learned about yourself a little bit more. Time well spent from my point of view.

Ableton Live: Using the Pitch MIDI Effect for Quick Filtering / Transposing on Drums
Reading the Ableton Live manual I had the idea to use the Pitch Midi Effect to it’s full extend by doing this:
With this effect you’re not only able to pitch the whole midi clip, but parts of it by using the provided filter (Range / Lowest). So, why not filter for – for example – hihats and pitch some up, to play the ride cymbal or toms. This would be range of notes, like I did in this example:
Using Midi Pitch to filter for specific notes and pitch only them
“Lowest” was set to F#1 with is the Closed HiHat when using a GM-Drumkit. I change the “Range” to + 5 to inlude all HiHat Notes from the G# and A# notes as well (= Foot/Open Hihats in a GM kit). Then I pitched +9. The Result ist that I have a cymbal groove instead of a hihat groove inluding fills on cymbal bell. Nice.
Try this with tombs or pitching snare to stick or vice versa. Try this with analog / electronic hits or bongos, congas, triangles, … you got the idea. Map the Pitch parameter to your hardware control and have fun on the wild side.
Nothing special but a quick and easy thing to do to get creative with your old midi material.
