Download My Music, Now in Ogg Vorbis Format

By MichaelCrawford (Fri Sep 02, 2005 at 08:30:56 PM EST) (all tags)

A couple days ago I relicensed my music to the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 2.5 License, Creative Commons' answer to the GNU GPL. Just now I made Ogg Vorbis downloads available, which are both higher quality yet smaller than my MP3s. Please enjoy and share on the Internet:

Geometric Visions: Compositions for the Piano by Michael David Crawford
1. Emergence - 2:13 - MP3 3.1 MB - Ogg 2.3 MB
2. Recursion - 10:18 - MP3 14.5 MB - Ogg 10.8 MB
3. Sahara - 7:26 - MP3 10.5 MB - Ogg 7.7 MB
4. As Yet Untitled - 3:00 - MP3 - 4.2 MB - Ogg - 3 MB

I'm just learning to use Lilypond and will be posting both PDFs and Lilypond source of the scores as I get them done. They will also have a Creative Commons license.

Poll: Which of My Songs is Your Favorite?

You may already have an Ogg player! Just try playing one in whatever player you already use. iTunes users can install the Ogg Vorbis QuickTime Component. It's available for both Mac and Windows. You can download other players here.

I encoded these with ogg123, which worked well but is very manual. I experimented with a number of CD rippers and encoders on the Mac and basically didn't like any of them, so I've decided I'm going to write a better one in Python and GPL it.

By the way, these recordings are eleven years old. It's not just that I recorded them on analog tape in my living room, but I've come a long way in my playing since then. As soon as I can afford a professional sound card and a couple of studio quality mikes I'm going to record all these again, and start composing new music.

You know what, dude? by MohammedNiyalSayeed (4.00 / 3) #1 Sat Sep 03, 2005 at 12:21:30 AM EST

You tell me which of my songs is your favorite, and then we'll talk about me downloading your hippie fucking oggs. Otherwise you're an infidel who can EAT THIS DICK.

: Have you downloads? I'll have a listen. by MichaelCrawford (1.00 / 1) #4 Sat Sep 03, 2005 at 01:04:32 PM EST

I still offer MP3s if you prefer right-wing encoding formats.
I clicked your Audio link but I didn't see downloads. If you really offer any, I'll be glad to give them a try.

Likewise linkfarm attempts... when I don't outright delete them.

I also edit "stories", when and as necessary, just in case.

All clear, you lying fucking spammer?

woof.

I honestly felt that HuSi members might actually enjoy listening to my music.

they're right, hulver is so much nicer... by bonbon (2.00 / 1) #6 Sat Sep 03, 2005 at 02:23:55 PM EST

you should never ask people to suck or eat what you can't find without optical assistance.

I don't get it. "They" all say that this site is so friendly and troll free. I guess you never can tell.

I'm Bonita, Mike's wife. I don't know how you people live with yourselves. Mike is sweet and kind and the most generous person I can name. I don't think I have ever met anyone who knows Mike in person who genuinely dislikes him.

I would say that I don't understand why someone would go to the trouble to bother harrassing someone. I mean, if you don't like what he has to say then don't read it. But I don't need to say that because I know way too many internet addicts for that.

You know, the guy who lives in his mom's basement and his last date was a piece of room temp chicken. The dirty coffee cup, the empty pack of pop tarts... oh, and don't forget the belly easing it's way out over the top of the shorts and under the t-shirt (which invariably has some "hip" logo from some lame-ass company or cartoon)..... stop me, stop me. Charm school was never on the list I guess.

People can say what they want, but when they are alone, I know they all think about who they are and what they have done/seen/said/etc. I want to plant a seed. The next time you are alone, instead of fantasizing that you are actually cool and will be discovered to play in the next matrix-like movie, I hope you will sometimes raise your mind from your muck-coated brain and realise that on a deep level, you are a miserable human being.

Mike - you've got more courage than either of these guys.

don't read it.
Mike likes to play the look at me game. He doesn't really participate, he just wants people to pay attention to him. "oh, those guys are doing music? I did music! look at me!"
