Black MIDI

Have you ever wanted to listen to a song with hundreds of thousands of notes? Well now you can, with Black MIDI!

"Bad Apple" by TheSuperBarioBros2 has 4.6 MILLION Notes! Insane!

 A bit of History
Blacked Musical Notation, aka Black MIDI, is a recording of music that uses Musical Instrumental Digital Interface files (MIDI files) so dense with notes that it literally appears to be back (or, in this video's case, a rainbow tossed into a blender). The first Black midi song was uploaded on April 30, 2009 by a person on Nico Nico Douga, who's name is 白鷺ゆっきー@黒雪ごはん (Shirasagi Yukki @ Kuro Yuki Gohan). It was a remix of the Japanese video game Touhou Project 6's song "U.N Owen Was Her?". 

Black MIDI's main popularity was in Japan, China, and Korea, but was not known in the East until sometime in 2010. A South Korean Youtube user posed a Black MIDI song mistakenly titled "John Stump- Death Waltz." The wrongly titled video created a considerable amount of confusion, especially in the East. Consequently, it made Touhou fans and 'okatus' enraged at the misuse of the name.


Trivia and Criticism
According to several articles, Black MIDI is "a normal MIDI file that consists of millions of notes," though the majority of them have less than a million notes. 

Gawker claimed that Black MIDIs are "insane but totally mesmerizing robot music," (Heck yes!)

Some people hate Black MIDI, and call it "garbage," "rubbish" or "noise." Others claim it's racist because there's "Black" in the title. Really guys, really?

Opinion :D
Personally, I think Black MIDI is awesome. The thousands of notes are as mesmerizing as the presentation itself. I could literally stare at a Black MIDI video all day, immersed by the barrage of sound and colour.
