THE COLLECTION SO FAR: Here is the colletion of MIDIs I have released so far. They are designed for two different software synthesizers. I am currently editing the AWE64 midis, turning them into Yamaha XG midis. The main reasons for this are that: I like Yamaha XG more, and also, it can be downloaded for free, so its more universal.

YAMAHA XG MIDIS These files were made for the Yamaha XG MIDI synthesizer. This is a very specialsynthesizer, so note that some of them will sound downright bizzare if played back on a different midi synth. The nice thing about this synthesizer is that it works on basically any pentium+ MMX computer. You can get the synthesizer for free here: S-YXG50 (well, 90 day trial version anyway, but its well worth the download):

SONG NAME	SIZE	COMMENTS
Forgotten Isles (island.mid)	48kb	Like Days of History, this is another conglomerate of traditional style, this time mixed into a work for full orchestra. Starts off as a light melody with bass accompaniment and turns into a fanfare for horns. The orchestra is set up as realistically as possible, with the instruments coming from the correct stereo channels. (4:31)
Evening in the Stars (evening.mid)	30kb	A light jazz piece for piano and guitar, with stringed and synthetic accompaniment. (5:39)
Tek1.mid	25kb	Another experiment with techno beats, this time, in "industrial techno" style. (1:51)
The Elite and the Enemy (theenemy.mid)	156 kb	I have always liked choral works. The Yamaha synth's "choir" sounds better than many other software synths I have tried. Hence, I decided to give a symphonic choral work a try. This is an attempt at a choral symphonic piece, kind of a march in the beginning and a slower B section that slowly builds up back to the main theme.(7:00)
Days of History (days.mid)	51kb	What started out as a midieval-style melody developed into a short piece that's a cross between a celtic, spanish and midieval piece... ah the joys of categorizing music ;-) Maybe I'll just simplify things and say that its a folk piece. There. That's better. (2:18)
Caught in the Rush (battle.mid) Survival (victory.mid)	51kb 10kb	Two short studies in orchestral-techno style, possible battle and victory themes... In reality, they are just experimental though. Lengths are (3:35) and (0:40) respectively.
To the Forgotten Ones (Landxg.mid)	65kb	This song used to be in the Wavesynth section below, but I rearranged it for the Yamaha XG synth and I think it sounds much clearer. Possibly an overworld/map theme.(11:20)
"My Life With Staral" (staralxg.mid)	35kb	This song, like so many others, just unexpectedly popped into my head. It is a slow, electronic piece, an experiment with sounds and textures, played when in a prison on a starship. What genre does it fit into, you ask? I sat and scratched my head over for a long time. It's not quite ambient, new age, electronic, industrial.... If you figure it out, let me know.(3:43)

WAVESYNTH/WG MIDIs These files were optimized specifically for the WAVESYNTH/WG driver (under "Live Hall" reverb setting), unless otherwise noted. Just like the Yamaha XG synth, pllaying back pieces made for this synthesizer on anything else makes the files sound strange. Be sure to skim through the Best Playback on Any Soundcard section. (Unfortunately, WaveSynth isn't free...)

Dreams of Loneliness (Dreamof.mid)	102kb	We have another winner! Winner of two awards, actually!! A rhythmic and melodic piece. (6:00)
The Last Stand (last.mid)	53kb	This piece was one of the winners of December 1997's A fast, pounding symphonic piece. Final boss music, maybe?(4:43)
Ruins (celti.mid)	26kb	Short, melodic piece. Nothing outstandingly original, the piece was intended to feature only a simple melody. (2:09)
Ice Mountains (icerealm.mid)	111kb	This piece is a soft, melodic rhythmic mix. An experiment with textures. (5:10)
Journey (journey.mid)	46kb	A longer piece, a slow, quiet symphonic thing with a build-up to the climax. This piece was more of an attempt at a slow, thoughtful melody line. (9:07)
Woods (wood.mid)	8kb	A tribal percussion piece, very repetitive, no melody, but fitting for the portion of the game. I myself think I could do better ;-) , but others thought that it is catchy. So it stays. (3:27)
The Wedding Theme (wedding.mid)	55kb	A piece for pipe organ and synthesized orchestra, theme and variations. (6:27)
