Time for the final part of the Lo-Fi Orchestra's interpretation of Holst's Planets Suite - Neptune, the Mystic.

From the gentle rocking 5-in-a-bar chords throughout, to the surprisingly busy celeste/harp/woodwind parts - there are a lot of notes in this, what feels like, quite a calm piece! And of course finishing off with that fading voices thanks to the MT32-Pi.

Now onto my favourite of the Planets - Uranus, the Magician.

From the opening chords to the bumpy, jostling, almost comical tunes, the fluttering "woodwind" again, building to the climatic almost-finale where in the organ part, you can see a ffff glissando - which seems like Holst is saying "fall on the keyboard"...

The Lo-Fi-ness breaks through with a bit of MIDI "ticking" that I actually quite like!

And so on to Jupiter, The Bringer of Jollity.

This is one of those pieces that is so overplayed that we tend to stop really listening to it. The finale really is quite something :)

So here is my Lo-F Orchestra version. Listen out for the MT32-Pi timpani and relay "tambourine" as well as the very busy "woodwind" in the finale.

And here it is turned on, I want to play around more with the code before I do a video, and this housing is still just a prototype, I have some cool ideas for shadowy sort of effects. Really happy with the prototype overall though.

I designed a prototype cylinder sort of shape thing to laser cut from MDF that slots together without any glue to hold the matrix. I also condensed the circuit onto this little proto board that I scored and snapped to shape, pretty sure this is the first cleaned up single cable electronics thing I've made which isn't a sprawl of cables. I'm using an Arduino pro micro with fastLED library

For the next seven days join me in a reposting of the entire seven movements of my Lo-Fi Orchestra rendition of Holst's Planets Suite.

Every single note arranged in MuseScore3, based on the original orchestral score and converted to a bespoke MIDI file that is optimised for performance by 11 Arduino Nanos, 6 Arduino Unos, 1 Arduino Pro Mini, 1 Adafruit Feather 32u4, and a Raspberry Pi.

As a merge between my work and hobbies, I also build watercooled #watercooling computers and small devices based on #arduino.

Presently, I am also working on a #notetaking app Zorglog, which could be used for anything between personal project worklog to shared electronic laboratory notebook.

After joining Mastodon and following people here, I have to admit I am hooked on the dynamics of this space and the general idea of federated social networks. This feels like the future.
