¡Maestro!!this music! While combing hair I listen and getting high of all the patterns when suddenly this bizarre apocaliptic vision of the forecasted last days of humanity (unforntunately it's my birthday)filling the imaginary firmament with wood? and I listen as it approaches, and it looks like a flying boat? a flying ark! oh no, it appears to be a raft with Jesus! it's huge!!when it smoothly hovers towards us I start to cry of happiness seeing it's powered by a huge church organ driven by ..

@Cyfrlingk I know what you mean.

[Cyfrlingk]

@PunguinYoga I don't know what I am, but I believe in Bach.

Also the tempo on this is perfect .The versions with orchestra & organ have tympani too loud so the wonderful relentless melody is drowned out & they are also are usually played too fast. This music is so complex the last thing it needs is to be rushed. Well done :-)

I feel sorry for beings on other planets. The will never get a chance to hear the miracle of Bach's music. The distiller of the essence of musical craft. The most stupendous miracle in all music.

Is the Wendy Carlos _Switched On Bach 2000_ recording, done in meantone tuning, not circular tone tuning, slowed down?

[ScrollingMusic]

Very good!  The visualization is quite fitting too.

[WinterHaven]

This is much much better than Walter Carlos's version.

MAGNIFICENT!!!

Wendy Carlos here: put the usual in front: v=UY1gh-wqz7Y and remember in 1968:

1 No polyphonic synthesizer If you tried to play a chord, you'd get only the bass line, meaning each line of each instrument had to be recorded separately onto a separate track of tape.

2. Only 4 tracks used at any one time. For something like this, you had to record backwards---first lay down the part that would get most buried in the final mix and work back.

3. Couldn't hear instrument while recording.
