...can't load moviepy.editor (even though it's installed)...

Oh, I found a note that I had to hack ImageMagick before moviepy would work. See https://github.com/Zulko/moviepy/issues/693 I commented out a line as per pkarp0's comment of Jan 6, 2018

I'm using moviepy version 0.2.3.5 with Python 2.7.15rc1 if that helps at all.

And I think this thread may have gone slightly off topic :-) Feel free to send me a private message on this forum or start a conversation via a github issue.

could you give an example of how to use one of the scripts?

First of all, I should mention I did all of this with Python2, and it's untested with Python3. Over the next few months I'll be migrating it to Python3 (this is long overdue!) It's possible that your Python environment is just too new. I've found https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv useful for installing older Python versions without changing the system version.

There's no user interface. Just edit the script to insert your preferred settings (look for variable names in all caps, and the "execfile(settings/stuff)" line) and paths to your MIDI and audio files, then type "python name_of_script.py" on the command line. Before today, I haven't had anyone else express an interest in using it, so I've made no effort to make it user-friendly, sorry!

I think midi_player_bubbles_v01.py will be the easiest one to get started with.

beautiful performance. just curious, what is the visualization software?

Sorry for the late reply. I'm not sure why I didn't see this comment last year!

I write my own software for the visualisations, using the Python programming language. See https://github.com/hanysz/midi_python_animations

I'm sure you could, if you didn't spend so much time composing so nicely. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for all the encouraging comments! I'll get around to the Arabesques eventually, and a lot more Debussy as well (another one of my big favourites is the Children's Corner). But first I think I need to do some Szymanowski, some Bach, and some more Australian works. I'll keep you posted.

Wonderful playing. I like Debussy and my favourite is Arabesque No. 1 (but too difficult for me). If you have played it, please upload, with your nice interpretation of Debussy. Anyway, Thank you very much for sharing and nice to hear Grotrian

This is wonderful hanysz!,

loving your way of interpreting Debussy.. and the Grotrian works so well.

Appreciate also your pleasing audio too - really great on all counts.

I've been playing "Clair de lune" for years now. Finally decided it was time to learn the whole suite.
