Although you are allowed to make copies or remixes of the included MIDIs
without permission, under the terms of the Attribution-ShareAlike license, I
(northivanastan) would suggest seeking permission anyway, as a courtesy :)

Furthermore, some of the MIDIs included here are remixes or covers of songs

out the OpenGameArt release of this pack instead if you plan on using this

* Which WAD do I use? *

For the full experience, use ultimidi.wad.

If you want to replace only the duplicate MIDIs, and preserve the first
instance of each Bobby Prince track, use uldupmid.wad.

If you are running a port that does not support any form of MAPINFO, or D_E4Mx
music lumps, use the appropriate WAD as above, then switch to tfcmidi.wad when
playing Thy Flesh Consumed.

Software used: Tuxguitar and special thanks to: my dad and my guitar
teacher for pushing me to get better.

Chilpillwill:
I made this track with the intention of recreating the feel from the
original game, Doomguy trudging through the Toxic Refinery. My track has
quite a dark feel with a pushing/driving rhythm - the game is well
underway at this point and the enemies and challenges are starting to
intensify. Composed in Cubase with the Roland SC-55 v3.7 SoundFont -
levels/mix may sound different depending on playback system! MP3 will be
made available for anyone who wishes to compare with the original
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peqggu5uuRw).

Ivan Stanton:
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this pack and thanks to the Doom
community for being so welcoming and letting me as a newcomer run this MIDI
pack project. I think it went really well!

INTRO and INTROA: INTRO is just expanding on INTROA, which came first. I
think it's fitting to have a medley in a part of the track that only will
be heard if you don't see the demos - whether you have demos or not, you
get a preview of the levels this way, sort of.

E3M9: For the most part, this is just an electronic dance version of Hell
Keep. I was kinda inspired by all of the "Nobody Told Me About id" remixes
in Plutonia tribute projects.

BUNNY: Wanted to do something SFX-heavy despite my MIDI sequencer not being
designed for it. Don't think it matches up with the animation quite as well
as the original music, but that's okay.

E4M1: I made this track back when this was supposed to be a solo Thy Flesh
Consumed MIDI replacement. The chord progression was nearly stolen from
Final Fantasy VI's Dancing Mad, though I think the rest of the song is
quite different.

Keagan Dunn:
"They're Going to Get You" has always resonated with me, mainly in E4M6,
though. I attempted to keep to that song's style and the atmosphere it
gives off, while also branching out with my own ideas - especially after
seeing how the Doom 2 MIDI pack guys did their tracks.

Lee Jackson, ASCAP:
All tracks composed using Cakewalk by Bandlab
(https://www.bandlab.com/products/cakewalk)

Special Thanks to Cammy, northivanstan, and all the crew of Doomworld for
getting me involved in this project!

Lippeth:
Composed in Logic Pro X for MacOS with Apple Quicktime Music Synth,
RLNDGM.SF2 and Roland Sound Canvas SC-55mkII
Finalized in Sekaiju for Windows using Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth and
Roland Sound Canvas SC-55mkII

E1M9: "You're Winner"
I wanted to get the most out of as few instruments as possible. Synth brass
1 and distortion guitar both have a nice high frequency presence that
complement each other when panned at opposite sides and comfortably fill
both the low and high end without needing much help from other instruments.
Because this is the first secret map, I felt that it needed an upbeat,
triumphant, and familiar sound, and attempted the classic 12-bar blues
structure, as well as Bobby Prince's trademark major harmonization during
the second round, while also injecting my own personality into the song.

E4M5: "Let the Wicked Be No More"
Leaning into the biblical theme of the episode, I felt that choir ahs
should take the lead for most of the song, reminiscent of medieval
Christian music but with harmonies, as well as guitars and drums so you'd
have something to groove with while wading in blood, hunting for keys. The
marble textures led me to hint at phrygian dominant notes here and there
for more of an ancient mysterious feeling, as well as adding a harp to give
a sense of wonder. The ambient bass line at the end was inspired by the
band Death, and the heavier riff it goes into is based on "Extinction Level
Event" by The Vicious Head Society, another recording project I am involved
in.

E4M7: "Path of the Pale Horse"
Continuing with biblical tone, the choir ahs are still present, though to a
lesser degree. The map title references a bible verse depicting Death
riding a pale horse, so that idea influenced the theme of the entire song.
The large amount of wood textures made me want to use the nylon string
guitar. The few tech base elements led me to incorporate the square wave
for certain sections, and the almost symmetrical but somewhat off layout of
the main hallways made me want to reflect that feeling, so most of the song
is done with a time signature of 11/4.

Manniacc:
[E2M8] is inspired by 80's thrash metal, mostly Metallica. Whereas most of
those are tuned in E standard in the key of E Minor, this track would be
played in D standard on a real guitar, and as such is written in D Minor to
reflect the darker tone. And the title is a reference to Doom Eternal.

Myrgharok:
MIDIs created with Cakewalk Pro Audio 9.03.

NeilJohnRips:
Made using Sekaiju. Just tried making a song that epitomised Doom in song
form. 10% horror, 90% action :D Only definite music influence was Doom 2
Map 4's music for the funky drum bits. Special thanks to JimmySquared for
introducing Sekaiju.

Palitoman:
I worked with LMMS to create the track and did some volume tweaks on the
exported midi with Guitar Pro 5.

The idea of the track came after playing some random notes on LMMS while
getting used to it. The MIDI has a little reference to the original E2M8
track "Nobody Told Me About Id" (one of my favorites), it's just a few
notes.

Also you've recently arrived in Hell, so, why not make something like a
heart beating and some passing by screams?
I would like to thanks my friends Willian Lovato and Matheus Goulart for
giving me some tips and to Ivan Stanton for letting me contribute on this
awesome project.

Peccatum Mihzamiz:
This is my third MIDI ever. MAP E3M3 has several distinct sections that
inspired me to make a piece with different contrasting 'feels' in it. I
started with a whimsical dance that had low brass coming in at some point.
I ended up using that low brass as the starting point of 'Eclectic Death',
and discarding the rest. Special thanks to Lippeth and Cammy for helping
me finish this track!

Sego:
a lot of inspiration comes from progressive metal, but i used a funk base
to make this one, changes in time signature were a requirement for me but a
total challenge in the process, i would like to experiment on other kinds
of doom songs, more ambiental, but as intricate as this one and the ones
before. Many thanks to northivanastan for this opportunity and Peter for
the feedback.

TrialD:
**Pagliacci's Going To Town**: I always wanted to do a MIDI that was in the
vein of Mr. Bungle's debut album (the single reason music instruments were
invented in the first place lol). While I'm not 100% sure if I nailed that
vibe I'm glad with the mix of clown music and thrash metal regardless.
**They Are Going To Suspend You**: Ever since I listened to the Project
Doom remix of "They Are Going To Get You" I kept thinking: "Damn, that with
the instruments of Suspense would be pretty sick". This MIDI pack gave me
the opportunity to do just that. Special thanks to Peter Lawrance for
giving me ideas for the final movement of this track.
**World Of No Sorrow**: A rather spontaneous entry to the MIDI pack that
wouldn't be too out of place in the first Age of Empire's OST. Inspired by
a desire for a world where people no longer have to suffer from needless
cruelty.

Xulgonoth:
My main inspiration here was GloomKeep by David Shaw, I wanted to do
something similar, but more sinister (so I took more inspiration from
Aubrey Hodges in the first half) and with a more drastic breakdown for the
second half. I think I pulled it off pretty decently, probably mainly
thanks to the augmented scale, which I was trying out for the first time
here, but it was surprisingly fun to work with. But you should still go
listen to the original GloomKeep, it's from Memento Mori II and it's
amazing. Also I'd like to give special thanks to Bloo, who helped me out
whenever I reached a creative block while making this.

ZeMystic:
Special thanks for inspiration: Joel Nielson and Bobby "lolmcswagger"
