Back again

Not touched this in ages. Suffice to say my busy lifestyle got the better of me and I failed in my challenge. Such a shame, it was all going so well.
Anyway a little update, mainly because I wanted somewhere to put links to my latest works - midi versions of some (not so) popular tunes. If someone makes me aware of a copyright breach here I'll gladly withdraw these files, but I think they are sufficiently different as my own transcriptions to not be wading into that particular legal minefield.
I've sent the last few lunch hours at work transcribing Man Made God by In Flames for my band - just to make it easier for me to learn and remember the arrangement. It's also very good discipline doing these transcriptions. Listen to a nasty embedded midi rendering of this here:


The tune is an extra instrumental bonus track on some versions of their very old album Colony. It's going to be a challenge reducing those multitracked parts to a simple playable arrangement, but that's always a problem when bands do big lavish studio productions.
I did the transcription in my usual tool, Noteworthy Composer. the raw file is here. Look it up to download/play around with this.

Incidently I have a new band since my last post here: Andraste. We play folk metal. A very popular genre contrary to what you may believe.
