Aphex Twin Avril 14th

[FearOfPeople]

this is really interesting and such a beautiful talk on a wonderful song.

[zakalwe101]

How cool was that!

[joebstarsurfer]

cool 

[AirplaneFoods]

I made this for just myself, and every now and then I play it before I go to bed. Such a beautiful song on the music box, I will never get over it as I do quickly with some of my other songs. Beautiful.

[VauhtipiruGames]

So jealous.. this is amazing.

[Kdnce]

Would you agree that it a music box is very similar to a thumb piano? The timbre is awesome. Well done ///

[DrippinAcrylic]

I will play this for my newborn.

[jamggureogi]

just awesome!

[Shirley20Kwan]

Precious ~ i love it

[Freekchild]

This is great. I can't get enough Aphex today! I have almost all of his albums and I can't pick one to listen to!

[zwerdman]

tnx for the inspiration micaiahim!!

I'm making one for my wife too the music box just arrived!

[WYSNL]

Awesome.. Could listen to this for hours... pure magic. Thanks mate!

[plexizebra]

I love it I love it I love it...... please Santa, that's what i want in my stocking this year, pleeeeaaaaase !!!!!!!!!

[mapzta]

Amazing stuff. :) MORE PLEASE! :)

[MRSylvestre2]

Very cute ! I'd like to have the same at home with this melody for example.

Do you know it's possible to buy it ??

[WeibchenOfDeath]

hey... what music box do you use? is it the so callen "music box set" ? and how long is the playtime 8bars? oder even 16?

[micaiahiam]

@WeibchenOfDeath

This is the so called. They're quite cheap n the USA - 14$ - but the sending fees are too expensive for Europe.I found the same "Teanola" music box for sale at "Grand Illusions" (google it) - 17£. Don't raelly know what you mean with playtime since I have never studied music.

[WeibchenOfDeath]

@micaiahiam

thanks! i bought the one of grandillusions too ;)

i now have another question though: your "papersheet" looks different. is it custom made? i already used one of the empty sheet out of the kit, and i wanna compose or arrange more songs for my girlfriend. but if u buy them at the same shop its quite expensive... =( any advise?

btw your avril 14th version is very good. i will upload a video of me soon too ;)

[micaiahiam]

@WeibchenOfDeath

Yep, just buy yourself some card stock and a cutter. Then draw the layout in indesign or similar app. Print it and you're done. You can download a pdf with the one I have drawn through my other music box video.

[rdlchapman]

INSANELY BRILLIANT!

Did it take a long time to figure out the placing of the punch holes?

[micaiahiam]

@rdlchapman

It took some time to learn how to translate music notation since I had never gotten any musical training.

[booshazoid]

wow this is beautiful

thanks for this :)

[DallasCowboys94Ware]

Question - When you're making that paper to insert into the music box, what happens if you make a mistake in the holes? Do you have to start over on a new card?

[micaiahiam]

@DallasCowboys94Ware

Tape :)

[NthlTeehee]

Oh my god, I'm so jealous. Could you also make one of Yann Tiersen's Comptine d'un(e) autre été? :o

[micaiahiam]

@NthlTeehee

That one is trick since the scale surpasses the music box's one.

[valekrucz]

gosh, i love this song. And i loved this, I want a music box now.

[valekrucz]

gosh. I want a music box now. I loved this.

[brumono]

hello, micaiahiam, I love your version of apex twin, it is asking too much, but I could send a picture of the card board so that I build with my music box, is that today I'm new reciver the music box and I love your melody, my email is bruneka44@hotmail.com, thanks for you response .Thanks for all hope

BRAVO

[Elektronik808]

[Inshiraah]

sounds so sweet!

[datterboy]

How did you get the music sheet? I'd like to give one to my wife for our 10th anniversary.

[radiolands]

@datterboy your wife is awesome

[micaiahiam]

@datterboy

I've gotten my hands in a midi of the song and ran it through sibelius.

[micaiahiam]

@datterboy

I downloaded a midi version of the song (google) and opened it in Sibelius, a music notation software available for both Mac and Win platforms. The software then translates the midi into music notation which you can transpose to C major if it isn't already in the key.

[DannyPhuWho]

mine if i ask what this tune is called or you made it yourself?

[micaiahiam]

Like it appears on the title it is called "Avril 14th" and it's a song by Aphex Twin.

[CAR18MEN]

very nice. 0:39 did that thing break??

[micaiahiam]

LOL, no it didn't break. the tape holding the two cards got a bit loose :)

[iem007]

good

[usedasdirected]

Physical Midi

[deldotbee]

That's really nice! May I ask where you got your music box from?

[micaiahiam]

I got it through Grand Illusions, a UK based shop! Google it :)

[whoremonal]

Beautiful.

[dustface]

very enjoy
