Béla Bartók Ain’t Got Nuthin On This
One hears such sounds, and what can one say but — Black MIDI.
In the name of everything that’s good and holy what in the world is Black MIDI? To be honest, I didn’t know what it was, so I looked it up so you don’t have to. Usually I’m very well versed in underground music scenes and genres and such, but this is the first one I’ve encountered that’s underground for a very obvious reason. Black MIDI is a genre of music where the composer layers MIDI tracks to make an unplayable piece of music with as many notes as possible in the hope that it will break whatever computer tries to play it.
If that’s not hardcore, I don’t know what is.

Wow – it’s Guitar Hero for computers, if the aim of Guitar Hero was to cause seizures. Or death.
Hi Julie, thanks for reading and commenting.
If there isn’t smoke pouring our of your computer by the end of a Black MIDI song send it back to the kitchen; it needs more notes.
