the piece FORTYLISES, being just 40 versions of Fur Elise laid over each other, is all piano, and so i thought it would be a perfect piece to convert into midi data and then into other terrible synthesised facsimiles of real instruments.
here is the original FORTYLISES:

and here are the results of these experiments with midification.
“Words like "mashup" and "remix" don't really do justice to Buttress O'Kneel's method - Top 40 pop crap gets sliced, diced, and tossed into a dizzying, exciting hardcore electro stew. Compared to other djs who timidly drop a Vanilla Ice acapella over a Chemical Bros intro just to move a dance floor, O'Kneel shreds copyrights with a blood-curdling vehemence. Smash the state!”
