The Lo-Fi Orchestra presents an interpretation of part 1 of Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells.
This performance of part 1 is itself in two sections: 1(a) and 1(b), linked below, intended to be played one after the other.
Featuring 11 Arduino Nanos, 6 Arduino Unos, 1 Arduino Pro Mini, 1 Adafruit Feather 32u4, and a Raspberry Pi running MT32-Pi, using the following projects from this site:
- On brass: Arduino Multi MIDI Tone Module.
- On high wind: Arduino MIDI R2R Digital Audio and Arduino PWM MIDI Synthesis with Mozzi.
- On medium/low wind and occasional horn: Arduino Multi-pot Mozzi FM Synthesis.
- On strings: Arduino Multi Mozzi String Synth.
- On guitar and bass: Arduino MIDI VS1003 or VS1053 Synth.
- On glock: Adafruit Feather MIDI, Music and LEDs.
- On cymbals, tambourine and bass drum: Arduino MIDI Relay Servo Drumkit.
- On timpani and tubular bells: Raspberry Pi, Clumsy MIDI and MT32-Pi
With a supporting cast of:
- Arduino MIDI Filter
- Arduino MIDI Filter – Revisited
- Mozzi Output Circuit
- MozziByte Output Board
- Simple Passive Audio Mixer
- Arduino MIDI Channel Monitor
- TFT MIDI Display
- Arduino MIDI Interfaces
- DIY MIDI Interfaces
- Cheap mixers, amps, speakers, and resonant tubs!
It was orchestrated using MuseScore3, exported to MIDI and “mucked about with” in MidiEditor, tested using MIDIOx and finally “conducted” by MIDIBar.
