Carlos Moog Bach... Sinfonia 35

[pobinr]

Being the most robust & most perfect music ever composed Bach sounds good at any speed on any instrument. Truly the most stupendous miracle in all music.

[CrustyDoom]

Some of the most beautiful sounds i've ever heard from a synth

[netpal2u]

I am a great fan of "Wendy" Carlos (1st period) and I say to you... THANKYOU! This is AMAZING like if I was listening to a forgotten recording of W. Carlos!

[deadlypalms]

Excellent stuff! Would it be too much to request a link to where I could download a copy? :)

[kingfire111]

Bach sounds good on everything.

[NORTHERNKONFLIKT]

this is really brilliant

[3musicmusicmusicE]

Bach is open to all instruments, with moog it's not bad at all...haakondahl i don't understand your point.

[haakondahl]

That ain't Bach--it's just a cover!

[altareggo]

@haakondahl The only time it wouldn't be a "cover", is when it was played by good old JSB himself....... seriously though, Bach has to be the most transcripted composer on the entire planet. I particularly like guitar transcriptions, but Moog ones also work pretty well :D.

[TheFotoJo]

I love it

Well done

[therealsweep]

Why not believe fully in what you can undoubtedly do and simply list your work under your own name with Bach and Moog tags, and then in your writeup credit Wendy Carlos as an influence? That would be truer to your own talent and also more respectful to an artist you clearly admire and have been influenced by.

[therealsweep]

This is a very nice piece of work. I'm especially impressed because I realise how much work must have gone into it - not to mention the work on building the synth.

But you risk having the piece taken down because you've listed it so it comes up when people search on Wendy Carlos' name. If you imagine how you'd feel if someone was putting Paul Glover pieces on YouTube that you hadn't performed or even been consulted about, you'll probably appreciate why that might happen.

[carl44acq]

very very nice

[hoasjoe]

Sounded like the 3rd movement to an organ concerto by Bach. Nice sound.

[cabaro10]

I must reply to newom, it's true that Carlos played all tracks without a sequencer, but some faster parts were recorded with half or so tempo due to the awkward keyboard of the moog.

[newom]

Moog ok but no sequencer & all played on rerecording! no quantize possible! what a perfomance Wendy !!!

[marceloribeirobarros]

ONLY WORD.....A<<M<<A<<Z<<I<<N<<G !!!

[zedster911]

It is amazing how the 1960s MOOG Synth Modules and the Music of Bach compliment each other so much .... but then Walter/Wenndy Carlos has the expertice and creativity to fuse the two together unlike all these lifeless mechanical fakes on here...

[Drummelskrudd]

This is one of the best electronic Bach interpretations on YouTube!

[glazenedidols]

best thing in the whole internet

[cowboypainthorse]

@davwave Yes I owned this same album and listened to it for hours. Back then She (HE) was Walter, but still a tremendous talent

[grandmasterIII]

Brilliant !!!

[icslook]

I really like your work! The realisations are lively and rich without straying into tackiness or gimmickry. Very well judged and crafted. I hope you post some more.

[evalewis1]

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

[DAVWAVE]

Question: I bought a ""Switched on Bach" album in the early 70's. Does anyone know of this album? I heard it in musicland and bought it. Usually, i went for Rock music, ect. thanks. If you know of what I am speaking please reply.

[szareleven]

@DAVWAVE Yes. The Switched -On Bach is from Wendy Carlos, formally Walter..... He did many Trans-Electronic Music productions... Including Clockwork Orange....

[isomolle]

As a student I spent several hours in the music room of the local library listening Walter Carlos performing Bach. These pieces are just as enjoyable as they were 40 years ago.

[francesco8167]

Stupendo,se il Moog ci fosse stato ai tempi di BACH,oggi ne avremmo sentito ancora di piu'!!!

[scottseansmith2]

Really excellent. If you'd told me this was a Wendy Carlos performance from a Switched On Bach album, I'd have had no doubt. Bravo.

[frankbraker]

I haven't heard that much sythesized Bach on youtube - but this is by far the best of what I have heard so far! Just beautiful!

[gngeannakakes]

Excellent - technically this is the "Sinfonia. Seconda Parte." under BWV 35 and can be found at google "IMSLP" where upon you look for "Geist und Seelle wird verwirret' .

[AbsoluteMonarchist]

I need to bleed myself after this...

[Geopholus]

Very nice. I'm surprised you have duplicated the richness of Carlos's Moog style, with warm complex voices. The initial soprano voice is a bit too quacky though for me. Very nice natural sounding performance..

[eepeni96]

Magnificent masterpiece performance with (Moog ?) synthetizers

[suitandtieguy]

good job on this stuff.

[colemantwebster]

nice

[jlee29170]

Very authentic. I listened to her early pieces for hours on end. It's haunting. Good job here.

[IpsaPaphum]

It sounds good because it's Bach.

[perrybarton]

This is way cool!! Where can I get a higher-bandwidth copy of the track?

[TheAlphadial]

DIY Moog Modular 3C built from schematics, for performing a Carlos-style Bach interpretation, even using some distinctive patches I recognize from the original "Switched On" albums... YOU ARE MY NEW HERO.

[michieldemarey]

It is incredible, very convincing sounds!!!

[cloudhop]

@michieldemarey

thanks

[supajox]

I'm sure Bach would have loved Moog synths

[musicalux]

@supajox

I agree absolutely! He would especially have loved the speeds which are possible with the moog.

[b0ttomzone]

Nice registration!

[rezzn8r]

Great job. Fight the takedown notice from Serendip if you get one!

[moonshine31]

Bravo ! Perfectly tuned and the choice of sounds is just perfect too...  ( Wonder what the Old Bach would composed today with all the technologies.... He'd probably be the biggest rock star ever...)

[choctaw111]

This is wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing.

[Fanfardon]

My choirmaster sodomized me to this tune. I will remember it ever at the most "profound" experience of my long and misbegotten life. Fuk the lot you.

[brightstarlit]

Wonderful! I much prefer Classical music such as Bach performed on a Moog over "conventional" instruments. I was most definetely "Switched on"to classical muisc thanks to Wendy Carlos' genius vision. Again, truly superb work. :)

[Pookleberry]

Excellent!

[polda66cz]

Very good job. All what I can say, RESPECT!

[arikast]

Gorgeous... love it!

[throovest]

Well executed and well built. Rarely do instruments outside of the orchestral work for classical music. The Moog is unique in this respect. It has a tonality and energy all its own. Bach would have loved it

[cloudhop1]

Thank you...I agree...I'm sure J.S. wud-a- luved a Modular in his organ loft.

[japanesesweet]

Delightful-I can see why Glenn Gould thought so highly of the Moog Synth. Really imaginative realisation-Bach`s music is inherently timeless and this demonstrates very clearly.

[bersilu]

Extraordinario--- Wendy Carlos abrió un maravilloso camino

[TeeJay1000]

This is brilliant!

[cloudhop]

Thankyou

[HolyMotherofGrid]

LOVE it!! Bravo. Bach sounds SOOOO good on the moog. I hope you post lots more.

The instrument you built, is a very fine one: impressive sound.

[cloudhop]

Thanks so much...I have some more music to come in the Autumn

[NagualElias]

you make it sound so modern! Bach forever!

[justwaving]

Wonderful, super job!

[cloudhop]

thank you

[venisfurs]

GREAT!

[cloudhop]

thanks

[nobringuk]

absolutely sweet!!!!!  great work thank you for sharing

[JohnLRice]

Beautiful!

[DrBoom5150]

Good grief, this is really, really well done. Bravo, no need to live in Carlos' shadow--she lost me with SOB2000 and her "better" synths.

[cloudhop]

Thankyou for your kind comment..I have more pieces to be posted soon

[Drummelskrudd]

Very very good!

[stuio74]

Carlos Moog & Bach OMG got to be the best 3 things ever!!

Superb i really love it!!

[Kraviotho]

Realmente hermoso @_@

5/5 :D

[cloudhop]

[NagualElias]
