It's interesting how this sort of blurs the line between composition and sound design. At some point I would only really call these "notes" in the strictly technical sense that they are encoded as such in the MIDI stream, while the compositions themselves seem like relatively straight forward songs. In that sense, songs like Circus Galop (written for player piano) are more interesting compositionally.
