“Revolution 9.2”

OK, there is a track on the Beatles’ 1968 White Album titled “Revolution 9”, a sound collage created primarily by John Lennon (and largely against the wishes of everyone involved, except Yoko Ono.)

It was, against all odds, sequenced by Eiko & Nobuo Takenaka in 1996.

Tonight I fed the Takenaka MIDI into Band-in-a-Box, instructing it to chord-analyze then perform the piece in a jazzy style.

I did NOTHING else.

===> This is STRAIGHT out of Band-in-a-Box!! <===

I stand in awe of the combination of this amazing sequence and this amazing software.
