In the Presence of Enemies

Well, part 2 anyway. If I finish this, it will be by far, the longest non-me-composed MIDI I have ever made. I'm back making MIDIs, and am tackling Dream Theater's "In the Presence of Enemies Part 2", which clocks in at a little under 17 minutes. I got the idea after I found MIDIs of "Thick As a Brick" and "A Passion Play" by Jethro Tull: The whole darn songs have been MIDI-ized. We're talking 45 minutes of MIDI on "A Passion Play" alone. I first got into MIDI making after finding The Video Game Music Archive, I thought it was pretty neat, so I found a MIDI making program and started doing it. I then found Cakewalk, and that's what I've been using ever since. Right now it's at the 3:50 mark. This is not my first modern-music MIDI, though, I made a few of Nine Inch Nails' Ghost songs, also. I am having a little trouble with the piano notes after the first part, so I'm leaving it almost blank right now. This won't be a note-for-note exact match, because I'm not that good of a MIDI composer. You can listen to what I have so far here, and will update it whenever I feel like working on it, which has been a lot lately. I've been having to use my old computer to do this (Cakewalk will not make the note symbols appear on my computer and they appear as letters instead.) which is slow as molasses. So each minute translates to about an hour of note-matching, checking and rechecking if the notes have the right length and are in the right place.
