In 1947, the composer Conlon Nancarrow—frustrated with human pianists and their limited ability to play his rhythmically complex music—purchased a device which allowed him to punch holes in player piano rolls. This technology allowed him to create incredibly complex musical compositions, unplayable by human hands, which later came to be widely recognized by electronic musicians as an important precursor to their work.
But I've no idea how to get the guitar tracks and the notes. Additionally, I need to play the notes simultaneous with the sound which is currently played. EDIT: specific: 1) I have to load a midi file (lets say metallica, something with guitars) 2) I want to get the guitar tracks and choose one of them. Or simply choose the first guitar.
A similar interest in seemingly impossible music can be found today in a group of musicians who use MIDI files (which store musical notes and timings, not unlike player piano rolls) to create compositions that feature staggering numbers of notes. They're calling this kind of music 'black MIDI,' which basically means that when you look at the music in the form of standard notation, it looks like almost solid black:
Blackers take these MIDI files and run them through software such as Synesthesia, which is kind of an educational version of Guitar Hero for the piano, and bills itself as 'piano for everyone.' It's kind of brilliant to imagine a novice piano player looking for some online tutorials and stumbling across, say, this video of the song Bad Apple, which reportedly includes 8.49 million separate notes.
That version of Bad Apple is by a notable blacker who goes by the name TheSuperMarioBros2; as you might infer from the name and the choice of song, video game music plays a big role in the black MIDI scene.
And so do note counts - the more notes, the better. Iphone 12 13. The queen of the note count seems to be a blacker from China named Xinyu Qian AKA ICEwiimaker. Here is one of her videos, a 21 million-note version of a trackfrom the video game Touhou Project.
There's a nascent wiki for the black MIDI community, where you can find links to more of these videos, if you'd like to continue on down the rabbit hole..

Schlagenheim (Rough Trade)
Guitar Hero Midi Drums
London-based band black midi – 'an exciting new force in the world of post-punk' (SPIN) – announce their debut full-length, Schlagenheim. Throughout, black midi — Geordie Greep (vocals/guitar), Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin (vocals/guitar), Cameron Picton (vocals/bass), and Morgan Simpson (drums) — have a dynamic energy, playing as a musical unit that's constantly in a state of flux and development.
Schlagenheim was recorded with Speedy Wunderground producer Dan Carey, who the band praises for his quick, unfussy approach. black midi laid down eight of the record's nine tracks in just five days. The process was one of refining and rebuilding tracks around the initial structures. Five hour jams would sometimes yield a riff that then became a few bars of a song. As anyone who's been lucky enough to catch black midi live over recent months will testify, black midi's songs are slippery creatures.
When the group began, they had far more rules and regulations about what should and shouldn't be done, which transformed into more of an 'anything goes' policy of experimentation. At first, the music they were making was 'an ambient, droning, noisy thing' as Greep describes it, mutating into something reminiscent of Swans or the Boredoms, before songs like 'bmbmbm' and 'Speedway'started to take shape.

The foursome comprising black midi are all 19 and 20 years of age and have backgrounds steeped in music. Simpson grew up in a church and took up the drums when he was two. Greep started out playing along to the likes of Franz Ferdinand's 'Take Me Out' and Black Sabbath on 'the OG' Guitar Hero. They all met at the Brit School, and praise their education for giving them a vital grounding in musical collaboration. While studying, the group paid their way by teaching music and doing sessions for friends. Greep and Kwasniewski-Kelvin would busk in south-east London, on some days playing Jimi Hendrix's 'Purple Haze' or blues and soul tracks, and on others playing their own music.
The band has promised that in a few years time, the music of black midi will be unrecognizable from how it is now. 'It's a bit bold, but you've got to set yourself challenges, there's no point doing the same thing over and over again,' says Greep.
