Hey, here's a thought. Not sure if anybody would be interested in doing this or if it's been done before, but i've always found Vivaldi's Four Seasons to be an amazing work of classical music and was wondering if anybody would want to do a chipmusic version/interpretation of the piece.

I'd say as long as the main melodies are basically intact, that the style and platform really isn't important. Let creativity run free yadda yadda.....

I dunno, anybody interested? Comments? Suggestions?

I just downloaded the midi file of Vivaldi's four seasons, opened fl studio, file>import>midi file> then replaced each channel with a chiptune style VSTi and VOILA. I now have an chiptune version of Vivaldi's four seasons!

i enjoy doing these because it offers arrangement challenges and forces me to explore new techniques. in this case i think the necessity of humanizing the phrasing will be really interesting BUT OMG MAYBE CORY DOCTORROW WILL LISTEN TO MY CHIP TUNE
