  • Playing Bach's Goldberg Variations Aria with two synthesizers (Moog Grandmother and Korg Mono/Poly). This is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. I cannot do it justice with my playing, but I love it enough that I decided to try. To get a true sense of the piece I urge you to listen to Glenn Gould's 1981 recordings.

    This is something I really like,the performance of timeless music played on modern instruments skillfully. It motivates me to learn to play music on my synth.

    You don't hear too much of classical synthesized variations these days, good job. I specifically like the sound quality here, I have only done a few and have been working on another for some time, this reminds me to work on it some more.

    To me this becomes a more emotional experience than the perfect recordings of the virtuous works we have heard so many times. (Maybe to many to really enjoy?) Anyway, I really like the imperfections of the sounds from these synths when attempting to mimic orchestral instruments. this together with the sensitivity, insight and empathy of this performance makes it so human, fragile and existential. My only regret is the abrupt ending.

    Do you think you'd do a video with the MonoPoly? Like one of those videos you did a while back where all the sounds were SH-101 and it was split screen?
    Or have you got other plans?

    Hi, very nice playing.
    Although I'm also a synth lover, I'm not sure if it's better suited to playing the piano, as it was intended.
    It's a very fragile piece.
    But such tries are always interesting. I'd very like if you try some of the variations.

    • @shroomcat6865
      @shroomcat6865 6 лет назад +1

      Got both, only just received my GM. I've found the Mini to be more aggressive than the GM, probably due to to the filter always being slightly overdriven on the Mini. However the mixer on the GM is capable of some really nice overdriven sounds. You can get them to sound similar, but they don't overlap. They compliment each other very well!

    • @ronnieaux5290
      @ronnieaux5290 6 лет назад

      Thanks for the info. Do you happen to have a Mother-32? If so, do you find they share the same tone? I have a Mother-32 and worry the tone is going to overlap a bit too much.

    • @shroomcat6865
      @shroomcat6865 6 лет назад +1

      @@ronnieaux5290 I don't, but from what I've read (and heard) the GM and 32 are completely different in architecture. The GM is based on old modular circuits from the 60's and has oscillators based on the Minimoog, whereas the 32 is built around more modern designs. It depends on what sounds you're going for really.

      I honestly can't remember the name, I bought it over 10 years ago. The only thing written on it is a sticker with the word "Supra", but I can't find any info online lol. But to be honest I wouldn't necessarily recommend it because the top tier doesn't tilt, it's always parallel to the first tier, which isn't super great when playing.

    The lushness of the synthesizers remind me of string instruments (see ruclips.net/video/5X7a997aWeY/видео.html). I read somewhere that Bach desired to hear his pieces played in all possible manners, with all possible arrangements; so this doesn't strike me at all as blasphemous or something like that. Where is the invisible line in musical technological innovation, anyway? :)

  • @alainperrieregenevincent54
    @alainperrieregenevincent54 2 года назад

    Il s'agit bien évidemment de l'aria des 32 variations Goldberg de Jean-Sébastien Bach.
    A mon avis, joué un peu trop lentement.
    Le fameux musicien du nom de Goldberg, âgé de 14 ans, n'a en fait jamais existé.
    Il aurait soit-disant joué ses variations, pour distraire l'Embassadeur de Saxe, qui souffrait d'insomnies...
