All three of these are just midi sequences triggering mellotron  samples. 
The tempo and artificial timing sounds like shit. I guess I'm a bit  annoyed 
that you recently called a real recording of Satie with Mellotron  
"terrible", then you post this poop. I don't get it. Have you been at the pub  again?
