Well, this seems to have ground to a halt. Does no one recognize that performer or that tune?

My initial guess was Elton John and "Goodbyeyellowbrickroad" even tried it backwards (daorkcirbwolleyeybdoog).
I still think it might be Elton John, but I think the notes need to be transcribed backwards as opposed to just playing the sound file backwards in order to make it easier to ID the song.

could it be something in the music itself? maybe you should try to find out what notes those are.

Well, I'm stumped. Wonder if we can get a hint?

This sounds like music-code. But unless you have some very smart music decoder or a degree in music (and I don't) there is no way to make head or tails of this one.

Probably the musical versin of the Murray-code.... sure sounds like tickertape. Just listen, only the pitch changes all the time not the rithme. Now connect a musicbar with the 5 lines the Murraycode needs and I think we have a contestant.

Now somebody REALLY SMART who actually can put this on a notebar so 'we' can read it.

EDIT: Just saw its a mid file. Should not be to hard for any musicmaker program to 'crack'.

Who has got something like that?

Well, I haven't had time to get this on a note bar, but between some freeware, some demoware, and a virtual keyboard I've figured out the notes. They're two lines running together. The "low MIDI/low notes" are on the bass clef, the highs on the treble clef. I include the MIDI note values because two Fs, say,might be an octave apart on the same clef. You can tell them apart with the numbers.

The file is a comma-delimited text saved from Excel.

I'm glad of 2 things:
1) I got somewthing right.
2) My name isn't white rabit.

Took a crack at it but no luck so far. HyperBorea your anotation is hard to decode.. or maybe its just the puzzle thats hard.

Any decent MIDI composition software such as Cakewalk Pro can transcribe to notation or piano roll.

Some of these Free Trial MIDI editors should be able to accomplish the task as well. free downloads -MIDI Editors

Ok. I managed to transcribe it to notation but it still means nothing to me but maybe it will help somebody else. Hope this works.
