original Modular remix … love it!
One of my favourite pieces of music - John Cage’s 4"33’
This is arranged for a string quartet, but it could be expanded to the full orchestra. The tempo is set to 60 BPM as specified in the sheet music.
I plan to use Host and the BBCSO voices with Meander for a full orchestral version, which would count as a cover version of their performance of the piece at the Proms in 1999.

Great cover!
not an expert but wasn’t this played on piano?

I think it was, although it would probably sound the same on any instrument.

The original score was written for solo piano, but as with many pieces of classical music, it can be adapted for a string quartet, acapela choir, chamber orchestra, symphony orchestra or (as explicitly stated on some copies of the score) for any instrument or combination of instruments. There is even a jazz arrangement in C#Maj / GbMaj in 7/4 time by Nate Kang. I once saw the piece performed by a death metal band, and there are reports of it being played by folk artists around the world.

Huzzah for Midi files [if that is what you used?]. Sounds good, nice and simple yet effective patch!
Yeah I started writing the melody in one of the Impromptu sequencers, but then got lazy and just edited a midi file. I had this tune stuck in my head the whole day, so just had to get it done. 
. I think it’s time to dig out the old DVDs.

That is impressive.
Ah, I remember seeing this thread before. I guess my twist on Steve Reich’s Piano Phase in VCV belongs here.

Love that piece, and the VCV renditions of it.

Lovely. Like the first one for its sound design/performance and the second for sticking to the song structure.
Really interesting approach.
