Pi, The Song With 3.1415 Million Notes

[@Amia_the_Smol]

Nine years later, still a banger.

[@_XxNECROxXShorts_]

I got nostalgia...

[@TheSuperMarioBros2]

Exactly one year ago today, I created what most people call the best Black MIDI in history. Thank you to everybody who shared this to others and got my name around. I still think this is my best Black MIDI ever. May the Black MIDI madness continue!

[@29FroilanJR]

+TheSuperMarioBros2 YEP!!!!!!!!! oh i forgot to make a video xD

[@rossbuckenham1091]

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS also windows or mac

[@Luhmero]

Benedict, its a fucking midi. Its impossible to play this. Plus, castle was fucking joking.

[@anacetiefighterpilot9489]

Pyromatic It's too mindbending to be played xD

[@Luhmero]

*Benedict Mun Sans* you asked him if he can even even read the notes, if even if he can it will still be impossible.

[@LayniPalma]

you can play it either the note art is silent

[@gingeas]

Happy Pi day, folks! Enjoy this wonderful 3,141,592 note remix by one of my great blacker friends. :D

[@comicsansgreenkirby]

@[redacted] "Blacker" The definition you're thinking of: of darker colour The actual definition used here: one who composes Black MIDI Edit: Original reply was deleted. The user didn't know the Black MIDI definition of 'blacker', and thought Gingeas was being racist.

[@dariuskohler251]

Or Your childhood friend whom you had a crush on, but later moved so you never saw them again. Until one day you found them in a random forest crying so you helped them. Then they became your best friend again, and you did everything together but then you fell inlove again. You dated and then they proposed but you rejected because you thought it was way too soon. Then they left you and climbed the tallest mountain to get a magical flower to become powerful so they could kill you. And then their evil intentions took over and he is now your archenemy Yea idk what I just wrote

Proud to showcase another one of my beautiful works of art! Please, if you will, tell me how you liked this midi, and maybe throw out some ideas for my next Black MIDI!

[@boop2]

Ben Fotiou . . . I need to dig that up. NOW.

[@laurensweyn]

This is one of the best Black MIDIs I've ever seen. Most seem to just focus on note count, not at all caring that it sounds terrible. This actually sounds good. And it's an original song, no less! Very well done!

[@RavenWolffe77]

I just realized how amazing of a level background a 3d-rendered version of this would be for a Bullet-Hell game; where the piano was is lava or something and this giant structure being consumed by it IS the level soundtrack. It would take a few hundred years to model, but it would be SO worth it!

[@user-gt3ue3le9c]

To play this, you must be in a different position than usual. Listen as instructed. As the song begins, play as you would normally. As the song progresses, quickly place your feet atop the piano keys and slowly being your weight down on it. Then add your face to the mixture. Eventually you shall lie horizontally on the piano and distribute your weight properly all while having sexual activity with the piano keys. You could even grab your nearest wild animal and start whipping it while it's dancing atop the piano. Amateurs may require some assistance for this next step. You may need this assistance from pets, siblings, spouses, family members, and other living creatures. All participating must flop around and about the piano like fish gasping for oxygen. This requires much practice so study to succeed. Any seizures that may be induced are encouraged. It is extraordinarily helpful that you try every drug on the market for this song to be executed as you please. It is recommended you take several times more caffeine than usual, during the performance. You may need to mentally prepare yourself for this hellish degree of playing. Others may assist you by dragging there faces where notes seem to be neglected. As others may have demonstrated, random children may be extremely helpful for this part, as they tend to be natural professionals at this. Try to maintain the steady pace of a cheetah who had its girlfriend stolen by a purple flying monkey. Many who attempt to complete this feat may be completely passed out by the end. However, if you were lucky enough to not be, good job. This has diagnosed you with cancer and you now have three days to live.

[@cureedmatt4829]

Yes thanks for the help. My brother is dead but it was worth it because we finished the song :D

[@ariabellagaming1904]

So I just stumbled across black midi by browsing through KZbin and have been looking for hours and I have to say. Of everything I've seen your original compositions are the most gorgeous to look at and easy to listen to black midi I've found. And in my mind that makes you the best!

[@MilesEques]

This is the single most impressive piece of MIDI I have ever seen. It's both an engaging song and a captivating dance. Bravo.

[@jacksonpennington538]

simply the best black midi, and the only one that has an actual rythym.

[@frankfurhter]

I love the extra detail you put in that translates to the meaning of Pi in morse code.

[@rayonMazter]

This is the most incredible piece...I just can't stop listening to it.

[@AwesumIndustrys]

To this day, this is one of, if not THE, best black midis out there and one that melts my computer whenever I try to play it in it's midi form.

[@sentretsparkle]

Okay, I figured it out. Theoretically, if you were to record yourself playing a single key from this song, then record you playing the next key, and do this until you have recorded yourself playing all 3.1415 million notes, and then compile these recordings together into one sound file, this song will have technically been played by one person. Edit: Now all we need is someone willing to do all that crap.

[@EvilSnips]

I think it is possible! Cuz it would take less than one second to hit each key, but compiling and editing it all would take like several months of straight work.

[@zswu31416]

There are only 88 keys on the piano. So you only need to play 88 keys.

[@gelatinocyte6270]

I was imagining having multiple pianos each played by two pianists.

[@paranormalackivvity4866]

[@D1G1T4L1NF3RN0]

So will there ever be a recreation of this song that isnt a train wreck of notes? Its a beautiful song but i wish there was a version actually played on piano with a normal amount of notes.

[@ratdiploma]

I think the reason it sounds that way is that the creator used the piano to create every sound in this song (including the percussion, which is supposed to be a thumping noise but it's just some deep notes hit at the same time I think) so yeah.

[@U.Inferno]

pls tho... is there one that can be a solo...

[@kissadev.]

If you mean with less notes (less than 3,141,500,000) than it wouldn't be "pi"

[@harrisoncalvert3847]

I can try and make a solo piano transcription of it

[@omnitone]

D1G1T4L1NF3RN0 Than it wouldn’t be a black midi lol It needs the lots of notes (but it could use less note art)

Is there any way to hear these songs before they've been... blacked? I absolutely adore the song, and would gladly pay money for it, but the parts where it sounds like a thousand screaming pianos make it hard to listen to on the bus ride home.

[@boop2]

Octuplex Just get rid of the tracks that have Art or Spammed Notes.

[@octuplex]

Ah. What program is this on? whatever it is, I'm unfamiliar with it and had no idea I could do that. At least, it doesn't look like synesthesia.

[@boop2]

Its called Piano From Above. But I was thinking about using FL Studio or Anvil Studio and delete the tracks and export as a .mp3

[@TheSuperMarioBros2]

***** Just in case you didn't know, PianoFromAbove isn't a midi editor. It's just used to play midi files. Flstudio and Anvil studio can be used to create midi files. Flstudio is MUCH less buggy and even has a better layout than Anvil Studio.

[@boop2]

***** Oh I know that, I just assumed Octuplex was going to use Synthesia to remove the art and spammed notes, which would take a long, long while. Anyways, I use Mixcraft6 where you can go up to 1000th of a whole note.

[@cpufreak101]

I believe he confirmed in another comment that even note is indeed played and heard, they just either get mixed/blended in/drowned out by the other notes playing at the same time

[@sentretsparkle]

Every single individual note is audible. It could be one of these things: 1. They blend in to each other 2. Some notes drown out others 3. Your brain can't process the amout of sound 4. Your computer can't process the amount of sound
