I love this movement, but I wasn't a big fan of the Subbass used here.

[smalin]

@xFayte Yeah, it isn't ideal, I agree.  If I had a complete instrument, it would be better balanced; the A-G Archive module is really only intended as an extension to a larger instrument.

@smalin Any idea why this piece sound so medieval to me?

[smalin]

@NimbleTurtle13 Probably you haven't heard enough Medieval and Baroque music to be aware of the differences between them.

[smalin]

@0ntology Cool! In a way, that's the perfect way to watch them: in a dark room, so that the animation all you can see. When the video iPod first came out, I thought "this is great" but distribution of my videos was a problem (the iTunes store wouldn't take on a nobody like me). But now, with YouTube and web-able phones, you're there. Too bad I don't have video on my cell phone ... maybe you should invite me over to watch them with you ... juuuuuuuuuust kidding ... :-)

[0ntology]

i watch these in the dark on my cell phone in bed at night, so relaxing

[conspiracyco]

this is the most tremendous music ive ever heard

[CantorNikolaos]

Can you play stuff from the Buxheimer Orgelbuch? I love that stuff!

I think this AG MIDI archive has nice samples! Far better than the POS Allen my church has!

@NimbleTurtle13 Probably for the same reason someone once asked me if the music on the recording I was playing was Mozart. It was actually a mass by Dufay.

[deterrese]

aww this is a nice way to understand counterpoint like it

[Calamaistr]

Oh Master, you'd hate the Lutherans today. Collaborators! Off with their heads!
