What is MIDI Art and MIDI Drawing?

MIDI Art MIDI Drawing of a Storm Trooper

MIDI art is a fun, emerging technique that's taking the internet by storm. This unusual approach to songwriting centers around creating 2-D art from colored MIDI notes in the piano roll of a Digital Audio Workstation, displayed to the listener for their amusement.

Not all MIDI art sounds good, but it usually expresses a visual concept. The emergence of MIDI art owes its success in large part to video content on Youtube and other social media channels. Live MIDI artists Glaysys even won second prize in the 2022 MIDI Innovation Awards.
