The material for <em>Stained Melodies<\/em> was selected through the use        of chance operations on a large array of MIDI keyboard works freely available        on the internet. Rather than make a conventional collage, these pieces take only one kind of pitch from each selected work, all of which are then played back simultaneously.  In effect, each melody is a collaboration between numerous ghost pianists, none of whom can hear each other; the majority of their music erased.  A more detailed explanation is on <a href=\"http:\/\/cookylamoo.com\/music\/stained_melodies.html\">the download page<\/a>.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">This set of pieces is quite likely        impossible for a human pianist to play. To put it beyond any doubt, several        additional adjustments were made to take advantage of a computer realization.        Dynamics change abruptly from one note to the next, and the sustain pedal only works for the least occurring notes in each piece.  Finally, the tuning was modified so that the piano retunes itself in each piece to suit the harmonic qualities of the most frequently occurring note.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">At        the moment, only Nos. 2, 12, and 18 are available for download: they&#8217;re about 3MB each.
