Hello,
As i recovered an old hard-disk-drive from the 90's (30MB HDD form an
i386 DX40) i could reap one of the oldest MIDI files i 'recorded' under
DOS (or win31 ?) with an MPU-401 while i was not twenty years old yet. I
don't remember which software i used at this time...
The midi was not quantisized and needed some polish, so i rewrote it on
Musescore tonight after listening carefully to the original.
Its name was 'essai3 ' (third try). But i found i could rename it as
'Life of a zebra', just for fun:

I hope you will enjoy this short tune as i had pleasure to rediscover it ;-)
Cheers,

Hi Benoît,
this is a nice little tune. Thanks for sharing it. It's fun to
rediscover old history. Maybe, I'll take this as an inspiration to
upload the first little tune I made on Linux with an old SB16. :) Your
tune was really very light and pleasant.
...
Best wishes,
Jeanette

Very pleasant. Jolly little tune, quite catchy and nicely orchestrated.

This reminds me of the collection of XM files I have lying around that I
created in
Fasttracker II in the 90's. They probably all contain samples
that makes them risky to share :p

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
