Percussion writing

Well, now I'm officially busy for the next four months. Thanks to me reaching out to friends in the area about my gift for Christmas, Tapspace Virtual Drumline 2.5, I am now percussion arranger for two local highschools for their indoor season and the "VDL guy" for another. I've compiled a list of the most interesting sounds from VDL that I like, and mind you this isn't all of them.

This brings up a point: If you need any sound effects for a game and you think a common instrument can do it (I also have several other uncommon instruments such as the waterphone, an Acme siren, "crickets", a metronome, etc. It's crazy.), just ask.

Random

Say hello to "mystery.c":

#include <stdio.h>

main(t,_,a)

char *a;

{return!0<t?t<3?main(-79,-13,a+main(-87,1-_,

main(-86, 0, a+1 )+a)):1,t<_?main(t+1, _, a ):3,main ( -94, -27+t, a

)&&t == 2 ?_<13 ?main ( 2, _+1, "%s %d %d\n" ):9:16:t<0?t<-72?main(_,

t,"@n'+,#'/*{}w+/w#cdnr/+,{}r/*de}+,/*{*+,/w{%+,/w#q#n+,/#{l,+,/n{n+\

Believe it or not this is legal code. You'll never believe what it outputs. If you guessed the song "The 12 Days of Christmas" in its entirety, you are correct. I didn't believe it either, but you'd be amazed what crazy shit can happen.

That is all.
