I am not a big music fan. My music tastes are far from developed and original. But still once in a while I feel like sharing a tune. This category is mostly used for my rare music moments.

Amateur Song Festival No. 3

KSP No.3Most of today I spent at Amateur Song Festival in Kakomalis. It was the third one in the last two years. By the way, the official name is KSP, which should be written in Russian letters. It can be roughly translated as Kakomalis Song Phestival. :)

Anyway, there were lots and lots of people, nevermind the lack of advertising. Plenty of regulars, but few new faces too. Lots and lots of music, food, and drinks, and general fun. Those who didn’t go missed a lot!

I have made a few pictures, which are available here.

Weather forecast for Amateur Song Festival

If you are absolutely sure that you will go to Amateur Song Festival on Saturday 30th and that nothing can stop you, then I suggest you check the weather forecast. If it will not stop you from going, at least you will have a coat or an umbrella with you. Be warned. Be prepared. :)

Reminder of the third Amateur Song Festival

MapI want to remind everyone about the third Amateur Song Festival which will be held coming Saturday in Kakomalis. All the information is available in the forum. This event will be smaller and less professional (amateur indeed) compared to the previous one. There will no stage, sponsor and all the hype. People will start gathering in Kakomalis picnic place around 15:30-16:00. The musical part will start around 19:00.

If you don’t even know which way to look for Kakomalis, then I’ve provided you with the rough map (by the way, the Festival has the logo now). Kakomalis picnic place is very near to Kalo Chorio. The drive from Limassol should take you about 30 minutes.

See you there. :)

Online MIDI Database

If you have one of those mobiles that don’t yet accept mp3s as ringtones, but already accept MIDI (hint: SonyEricsson P800), you’ll be interested in good quality, full length MIDI collections. I came across one such – MIDI Database. It provides a whole bunch of songs by a whole bunch of bands in a whole bunch of music genres and all for free. There are also links to commercial MIDIs in case you need some particular song. Good resources overall. Might be also interesting for keyboard musicians.
