Johann Sebastian Bach meets the Pulverisateur. Arrangement for Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 582. I always loved this piece and since his music lends itself so well to synths, I started this draft some years ago when I began with Audiotool. After being abandoned all this time, I decided to finish and publish it. Enjoy! The MIDI file on which the track is based is in the public domain. You can get it here: http://imslp.org/wiki/Passacaglia_for_Organ,_BWV_582_(Bach,_Johann_Sebastian)

Thanks Snad Breugen! I was aware of Switched on Bach although I never heard it myself. I just know his work for the original Tron, which blew me away when it came out.

Reminds me of the Walter Carlos synthesizer works. I think it was a Bach Vinyl of him which I heard non stop when I was a kid. Very good

Thanks for the comments! Someone I appreciate your feedback. I wanted to use the delay to hear how the harmonies interacted with each other on a more extended level.

It's not many things that beats Bachs works. I like the synth sounds, but I would like it better with less delay in order to prevent it from being too messy. However, it's always fun to hear another interpretation of Bach. :)

the fact that some sounds are at right and some in left brings me into an orchestra! wow amazing synth work!

This reminds me of the album called "Switched on Bach" where pieces composed by Bach were played on a synthesizer.

A nice rendition Jordi. Took me back to the day I first heard Walter (as she was back then) Carlos' "Switched On Bach"
