I am Muirén, and my specific focus with Spelkast Theater, is on leveraging the untapped potential of the newly revised Music Instrument Digital Interface or MIDI 1.0 specification, MIDI 2.0. Creating a unique, wholistic change management system for the composition and performance environment.

Foundational specifications for MIDI 2.0 were released in February 2020, which allowed MIDI Association members, including Operating System companies, to start practical implementation of the MIDI 2.0 specification. Since that time, the MIDI Association members have been refining the development tools for prototyping and building the first generation MIDI 2.0 products.

This is an extension of 🧙🏾‍♀️TınyMaker.Space Project, the organizing, evangelizing force, and funding source for my goal of establishing a permanent home and makerspace that is self-supporting through its own efforts, primarily through sales of my uniquely crafted, tangible fusions of art and tech, as well as performing arts.

John Carpenter • Alan Howarth • Darkness Begins

It’s that time of year when darkness takes on a special meaning, and for those of a certain age and temperament, there are some fond but chilling memories of John Carpenter’s apocalyptic trilogy of films.

This is my cover of the “Darkness Begins” theme by John Carpenter and Alan Howarth. And I’ve made use of a MuseScore Studio to craft the arrangement, and employed a blend of modern sampled acoustic wavetable and classic analog synthesizers by Arturia, in this homage to the 1987 film “Prince of Darkness”, and the “Darkness Begins” theme
