NOTE ON PLAYING MIDI FILES: All my MIDI works are meant to be played using the standard Microsoft GS Wavetable. Usage of any other wavetable will give unintended results. By all means experiment if you have the capability, but please be aware that what you end up with will not be what I intended!
Also, some MIDI files played on Winamp before version 5.3 will not play correctly. If you use Winamp, please upgrade to the latest version (5.3 or above.

Play Mins Nova op.5 (1979)

A giant musical crescendo like an exploding star. Klaus Schulze was an inspiration behind this one, specifically his 1974 album "Black Dance".

Original recording 5:55 This piece marked a return to my original recording method from "Upandunder" - putting down a drum beat first, then building up tracks by improvising over the top of the existing recording using a second tape recorder.

MIDI version 6:05 The MIDI version made in 2003 adds some more harmonies to the original and fills it out a bit. The frantic bass beat was omitted to give the whole piece a more sinister edge; however I did incorporate a subtle rhythm pattern which is only revealed properly in the lull after the "explosion".
