- This is a transcription of Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No 2 in F ..first movement.. performed on an expanded Moog Modular 55..all the sounds here are vintage Moog.
I am using the title/link ' Carlos Moog Bach' to enable easy searches for this type of electronic Baroque music genre.
This is my own transcription, a great many thanx for all the sincere compliments posted on my channel.

Hearing the Brandenburg on a completely new and different instrument, brings a new appreciation for the structure and composition of this masterpiece. Johann would approve.
Wow! You perfectly achieved that delicate balance between the crisp clarity that JSB's music deserves using synth tones, without sounding too synthy. A masterful creation of timbres and blending of beautiful counterpoint lines !!!
Another brilliant performance, thanks I had the good fortune of emailing Wendy Carlos a few years back and I can confirm from her that this is not at all easy. Making musically appealing sounds across a range of notes is itself a challenge and making them blend as you have is indeed a very impressive achievement. I continue to look forward to more of your work.
This is brill well done!. Bach and synths are a marriage made in heaven........such a joy to the ears.......pure joy
ADSR envelopes, Filtered RSGs, LFOs, S&H... patches everywhere. Insane. Kudos to you and to Wendy, on whose shoulders we stand.
I don't hear any Sample & Hold. What are RSGs?
@@horowizard ,
Sorry, Evbody, for the technobabble. Attack/Decay/Sustain/Release, Random Signal Generator ("white noise"), Low Frequency Oscillator, Sample & Hold. Not sure if I heard any sample & hold effects, but there are certainly modules in the setup. There were more, but … never mind. 😉🎹
I am just learning how to make my own patches. It's so fun! Got a nasty brass using a combo high pass and low pass. This is like the best inspiration right here!
Flutes my next endeavour I believe
@Janina Cheesman lmaoo totally a real person, mhm
I was recommended your channel because recently SOB ended up on RUclips briefly. The uploader took it down pretty quickly when the comments section got to explaining how that would end. I cannot help but compare your work (favourably) with the great master of Bach on the Moog.
This is much better than all other interpretations i've herad of this masterpiece.
Absolutely beautiful. I am not saying that this timeless composition does not sound great with classical instruments, but I will say that the synth suits this piece astonishingly well. Such a beautiful sound. Gorgeous and heavenly...
Beautifully done - great tonal selection - a worthy homage to the great "Switched On Bach" album series. Well played!
Wonderful Branderburg concert - I wish you success in interpreting baroque music .
This is superb! Very nicely layered, and subtly timbred! with great complementarity of tones. Thanks also for playing it at a tempo at which Bach's music can truly be appreciated.
the fucking hell. this shit is perfection. i would never doubt that JS came back to painstakingly etch this out on the wonderful moog. If it wasnt JSB himself, this guy deserves several medals at least. also one or two trophies. this is incredible.
Your a Man of Class
Qqwwerrrtyuiop
it is damn near perfection. ! ! !
Exactly as I imagined and dreamed moog instrumentation. 100% PERFECTION ! Tears in my ears.Tx a lot.
This is one of my favorite pieces and your transcription has more than done it justice. The performance is worthy of Wendy and her work.
....and worthy to JS himself!!!
Thank you for this synthesized(done by the synthesizer)music!Bach sound’s good on the synthesizer,right now!👍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍😍😍😍😍
Fantastic work!!! Thanks to miss Wendy Carlos to bring back the oldies in the moog and to show the way to talented people to the guy who uploaded this magnificent piece
Excellent!! As a fan of the original “switched-on Bach” from the early 1970’s, your tone are very similar to Wendy’s!! The shifting of sound colors are of the highest quality and continues to Draw the listener along in the performance!!👍👍👏👏🎉🎉❤️❤️
I always wonder what Bach would have created if he had access to all the wonderful equipment we have now... One can only dream . . . Thanks for your work in this endeavor ❤🔥❤
He had his hand in sound design both in terms of developing a fine well tempered scale,... his choices in voicing, and consultation on building organs, & the new Silbermann pianos, and his instructive pieces. If electronic music had existed during his life, he would have been deep into it ! Think of a pipe organ as an acoustic additive synthesizer.
Finally! Someone who knows and does hocketing! (changing timbres across the performance)
C James Cook is that a real word?
@@nickdryad It was the word that Wendy Carlos used to describe this technique in her "how-to" CD titled, "Secrets of Synthesis".
C James Cook Cool. I love that word.
@@nickdryad She also uses it in the extensive notes in the booklets with the beautiful box set CD re-issue of the re-mastered original recordings.
@@nickdryad it’s an old choral technique, dividing the words in a song up between the singers instead of having everyone sing every word.
This is amazing. I thought it really was Carlos until I read the description! Stunning work!
nice talent
Absolutely superb. Authentic tonal palette, and like Carlos' originals, bringing tremendous clarity of part to music which deserves it.
"Ms. Carlos was very gracious in taking the time to respond to an i/m i sent her on My Space......" ♫
Beautiful : feels like you and Moog and Carlos and Bach and us listeners all in the same hall together with an orchestra of enthousiastic artists having a great, great, great time sharing superb eternal music. Magnificent. Merry Christmas
I didn't know that the moog synth could produce those timbres. This is beautiful!
They say the Moog's timbres were almost infinite....of course that comes with the shear determination of the player/programmer and the HOURS of time necessary to set up the timbres. And to that end, this person did an INCREDIBLE job!!
This is almost identical to Wndy Carlos recording. Thank you for generating those crisp sounds that make it worth the effort.
SOOOO nice to hear those beautiful bass timbres that the Moog does to perfection. That was really the only drawback to Carlos' old recordings, though no fault of her own - the LP record tech of the time required rolling off some of the deepest bass frequencies, as they required more groove space on the LP, therefore cutting the allowable recording space. Definitely not so with today's recording! This sounds outstanding! Beautiful work.
Actually Wendy's original recording had bass deep down into the fundamentals. Deeper than virtually any other recordings at the time. On a good system, the vinyl recordings are AMAZING !
Your perseverance in making this paid off. Well done, maestro!!
Joyous! Oh - how these VINTAGE SOUNDS bring back memories from 50 years ago! I am in heaven! THANK YOU ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Truly outstanding. More, please!
Wow, the sound you can get out of that thing is amazing! I especially like the brass.
Rosalyn Tureck said right, the content of Bach s Music does not fade with the change of instruments.
As a matter of fact, Bach was so open to different sounds and colors he wrote his “Well Tempered Klavier”, which means well tuned keyboard.
So, it was intended to be played by any instrument with a keyboard.
Not really. It was intended to demonstrate that an instrument tuned in a particular way could play music in all tonalities without going out of tune. He didn’t envisage instruments beyond the ones of his time.
@@robappleby583
Thanks! You are right. I didn’t know the real details.
Fantastic arrangemant. Love the trills and the bouncy Bass. Takes me back to my C90 cassette of Switched On Bach. Happy Days!
Brilliant! I dont know anything about electronics, only Bach, but this is incredibly good!
What a Masterpiece!
The Composer > The Tecnicians > The Arranger
Pictures occure of a happy journey through the universe. Firespitting planets and sparkling stars. As it is in reality! Created by MAN and his godlike mind!
Yes...the keyboard has been adapted using FSR components together with a process and lag module.
I hope you can do Carlos Moog Chopin next! :-D
Carlos exposed me to Bach in Jr. High School Music Class. This is as exciting as what I first heard
Muy buen trabajo. Gran interpretación. Gracias por compartirla
Brillant diese Schönheit der musik .Bin seid 1970 Fan dieser musik 🎺🎻🎹🥁📟
Eu tenho o vinil de W. Carlos até hoje. Pioneiro no sintetizador demonstrando o potencial do instrumento com muito bom gosto.
Very well done, with a definite nod to Wendy
Walter !
Fake ..... BS
@@rareform6747 No one cares about your delusions, buddy. It's 2020.
@@gabrielbennett9376 Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded. Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave. A social scientist who understands human nature will not dismiss the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity as liberals do. A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population as liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation's citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state as liberals do. The roots of liberalism and its associated madness can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind. When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious. Basically liberalism is a willful failure to mature beyond adolescence that can have catastrophic consequences for society. With luck, the official diagnosis of this disease by mental health professionals will facilitate the search for a cure.
@Rare Form : I dit not come here read your long and messy hate speech, and I'm not the only one I think
MARAVILLOSO, WENDY TOCADA POR EL VIRTUOSISMO Y LA GENIALIDAD !!!
Thank you. I am in awe of your work on this.
Excellent production. Bach is my favorite Classical composer. I can also appreciate the acoustic musical instruments renditions.
Well isn't that just gorgeous...
no dejes de regalarnos esta musica esta interpretación. thanks !!!
absolutely stunning, thank you for this.
Great. Thanks for all the work you did.
Thanks again for all the hard work! Discrete voice placement, distinct timbers. I think you comprehended the key, I referred to in another of your realizations, in the Goldberg variation you did. Good work! Briefly brought me to tears!
Exactly. Such amazing detail in every respect. This type of work takes so much planning and care in execution - oh, and lots of practice just to play each part.
Excellent work, as always! :-)
This Is As Close To Wendy As We're Going To Get !!! Done In The True SPIRT of The Master !!! A BRILLIANT EFFORT !!!...
Takes me back ❤
I came across you're stuff a few months ago and saw you're last upload was 9 years ago. I really like your stuff, glad you've kept doing it
Most enjoyable. I don't agree completely with the emphasis given to each thread in the music, but I still love this.
C'est magnifique. Superbe. Plein d'émotions
Obra Maestra de la electrónica del creador del Sintetizador Moog y de su ejecutor Walter Carlos (llamándose luego Wendy Carlos ) en la gran Obra del L.P. titulado ON Bach. Una joya del 70´ con portada de Walter disfrazado al estilo Bach .
F A N T A S T I C ! ! ! 💯👍😀
Brillant!
God bless Moog n Bach
I've heard a lot of classical synth music over the years, and this is the only full performance I've been impressed with besides Wendy's.
nice job !!👏
I have no idea what's involved technically, but beautifully done. Thank you!
Fantastic!
Very nice. thanks o lot.
Musica maravillosa de niño lo escuche gracias a mi viejo. El compro el cassete en 1977 en Héctor roca en galerias boza del jr de la union. Lima Perú
Lo mismo acá en Monterrey Mexico. Mi padre compró el vinil de 33-1/3 rpm siendo yo ya un adolescente. Ambos nos hicimos fanatico de la música clásica y barroca. El ya falleció hace 15 años, pero me dejó como herencia ese infinito amor a la más bella expresión humana, el lenguaje universal.
Well thought through, superbly executed.
Any chance of you doing "Wachet Auf", 1st movement?
I would really like to hear your take on that timeless choral.
Fantastic performance!
Awesome
this is great stuff, more please.
This is really well done.
I love this analogue electronic synthesizer music. Especially the Moog. Everything is too digitalized these days :-)
Unless proved otherwise, any self proclaimed "song with analog synths" could be just plugins and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
You can tell! Music is analog and when it's converted to digital there is a loss factor. The same holds true with solid state amplifiers in place of vacuum tube amplifiers harmonics are left out of the musical notes. Music is made up of harmonics and overtones. As for digital most audiophiles prefer vinyl over cd recordings. I like audio tape played at 15 ips or better yet 30. Cassette tapes play at 1 7/8 inch per second. The faster the tape the higher fidelity. Some things you cannot counterfeit and true music is one of them. I have an electronic keyboard but.i would rather play on a real piano. I would settle for an upright over a keyboard but even a baby.grand is better than a tall upright.
I totally agree Winston.
@@ronb6182 that may be true 70 years ago with the firsts implements of computers and digital equipment for recording, in reality there is no scientific research to prove what you say, this is like emulators for games, in the 80's you only have atari and then nintendo hardware, now with a smartphone you can play from atari to ps2 to games as it were on their original hardware, plugins nowadays work the same in reproducing this sounds from analog synths.
@@peluca7135 it takes a real musician that spent years in the music career. Tubes are best for amplifiers even rock stars use tube amplifiers. Music is made up of harmonics and overtones which are lost in today's electronics. You can have your electronic keyboard I will take an acoustical piano over any keyboard on the market. They can try with no sucess to convince that you can reproduce a acoustical on an electronic keyboard. First thing you must make an action like a grand piano if you even come close its still falls short. As for overtones and Harmonics it's a blow to failing the whole project. You have to live in the acoustical age before you can judge if the electronic is really a copy. Most people that studied piano in the sixties can know how it should feel and sound.
Electronics is a fun field but it will never compete with the real.
Perfect score for fighting royal guards in a castle!
I'm curious: What about oscillator frequency stability?
Wendy would verify the tuning both before and after recording a passage as they drifted. She quoted Bob Moog as saying he eventually had to put together three oscillator circuits inside each oscillator to give her the stability she sought.
The earliest Moog oscillators used a transistor to convert a linear pitch value (voltage) into the exponential frequency values in traditional musical scales, however they did not compensate for variations due to temperature which caused pitch instability. Later generations of Moog hardware used a special compensation circuit to eliminate pitch changes caused by changing temperature.
This is good and more real than today's sampling. I miss Michael Iceberg when he and his wife preformed at the Tomorrowland Terrace at WDW. the mogg and the iceberg machine were the best baroque music of the 20th century. I also miss the main street electrical parade it was a big blow when they packed up and sent it to euro Disney. The replacement was awful.
Tomorrowland Terrace was at Walt Disney World.
Salve Wendy Carlos !
Salve Robert Moog !
Salve BACH !
awesome work !!!!
Wonderful!, Keep up the great work.
Brilliant!
Please do the 3rd Brandenburg concert.
Release your work on vinyl please💕
Amazing how everyone here is on first name terms with Wendy Carlos.
Exquisite!
i am listening this on my very basic stereo system equipment and it sounds great. I am wondering how this would sound on one of those old tape machines and high quality speakers. It must be quite an experience. Have you had the chance of listening to this on high quality gear?
I long wondered what Brandenburg #2 would sound like with a vlarinet instead of a trumpet. Ot would ne tricky, but a larinet can be played as aggressively as a trumpet.
Amazing
Even under permanent dicussion W. Carlos,for ever a great musician.
This would have fit right into a clockwork orange as well
this is like one of those transient monitor systems
that last minute or so is pretty deep
Brilliant
Il s'agit du Moog Opus 55.
Un gros modulaire analogique, que j'aurais aimé avoir...
Filtre passe-bas à 24 décibels par octave, 3 générateurs d'enveloppe,bref, le must...
So the programmed Moogs we see just play the music we hear electronically in sequences when switched on?
The typical modular synthesizer (Moog or any other manufacturer) can only play one note at a time. So large ensemble pieces must be recorded one musical line at a time. Then everything is mixed together to create the final piece.
@@thesteve7397
I am only learning and have been advised against the subharmonicon but I think that if I accept it for what it is and what it does when certain patch cables are plugged to certain points ( and knob positions) and with determination I will get something out if it.
I am currently practicing on the Elmyra2 drone synth which is also not the norm.
Suits me as I am also not normal!
Excellent performance!
I would love to hear the "original" versions of Wendy Carlos, but i don't seem to be able to find them here OR on spotify/deezer. Can someone help me to find them? THANK YOU IN ANDVANCE
archive.org/details/switched-on-bach/01+Sinfonia+to+Cantata+No.+29.mp3 , this should work! :^)
Why is the Carlos Switched On Bach album not on youtube anywhere?
Wendy has not allowed any streaming services to host her recordings, which is a real shame since she and her team would rather go after fans uploading her works for copyright breaches. She has not been able to make a deal with a music distribution service (her last distributor East Side Digital went out of business over a decade ago). I'm hoping that her music will available digitally someday.
Very nice performance, is this model 55 outfitted with any type of touch sensitivity? Live performance or MIDI through a MIDI to CV interface?
MIDI wasn't officially released until around 1983, I believe she used multi-track tape back in 1980 - I could be wrong however :)
You set this up and recorded this? Amazing and great work!
Does it not seem that the Brandenburgs were written for a large modular synth?
Well, I have to say that even the best orchestral versions don’t delineate the various instruments enough …yes, the Modular’s do this to great effect.
how do you record this
This is fantastic! Is it possible to find the original Carlos recordings from Switched On Bach album on RUclips, I wonder. I have been searching but cannot find.
Same here, looking for it....
You can buy a CD of the original album on Amazon
Cool work Man.
Check out some of her soundtracks like Tron and Bladerunner. Wendy Carlos is amazing!
Shane Edmonds thank you
