Boilerplate: These tracks were created for my own use to better understand Beethoven's classical works. As an electric guitarist, I "hear" guitar and drums better than violin, so these helped me to follow the different melodic and harmonic turns that Beethoven used in his frankly still-revolutionary compositions. Weird syncopations and awkward double-stops and trills on violin sound even more exciting in today's musical vernacular IMHO, and when you add drums doubling the bass melodies it gets pretty close to fusion/technical metal - tho the most complex metal you'll ever hear. Of course these are generated from "MIDI" sequences and triggered soundfonts (samples) so there's a little bit of an auditory leap of faith necessary. However if you're familiar with Squarepusher, Meshuggah, Alec Empire, Merzbow, or even Nine Inch Nails, then the "oddness" might not be as much of a barrier. I quite like the "gunny-glitchy" parts myself and decided not to fix them. Have fun and don't expect to find Furtwangler or Barenboim here....more like Zappa or King Crimson...maybe some Doors?

Please get some decent orchestral VSTs. They do exist, you know.

@xjtyu Please try to read the description below the video before attempting to offer advice. I'm not interested in doing a Garritan library rendition. If I want to hear an orchestral rendition I'd rather just put on Nanut's conducted version. These are demos for ROCK ensembles. These DO NOT exist. Your welcome.

I am quite certain that Beethoven would turn over in his grave if he heard this! this is second to blasphemy made on a cheap childrens toy ... shame on you!

[lvbandmore]

@PeterVelschow Peter, Beethoven came to me in a dream last night and told me that I was doing a GREAT job modernizing his works, and that some backwards Luddite would comment the next day. Thanks for making my dream come true! :)

Simplesmente Genial , quanto mais "vemos os efeitos da dança dos sons" que ele consegue articular, mais longe e profundamente viajamos. Adoro esta descoberta - simplesmente genial !

[lvbandmore]

@Radeir1 Beethoven is totally dance music - yes! Thanks!  Gracias!
