  • Synthesizers & Bach is nothing new, but I've been working on some of the music from Book 1 of the Well-Tempered Clavier for fun and I thought I'd share with you my interpretation of Prelude and Fugue No. 3 in C sharp Major, played on a Prophet 10 (rev 4) synthesizer. I hope you enjoy.
    00:05 Prelude
    01:29 Fugue
    For more music, check out my latest project "MAINS" out now on the Ropeadope label:
    Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/5kR7t1...
    BandCamp (better for supporting artists): j3po.bandcamp.com/album/mains
    I have synth presets available for the Prophet Rev 2, Prophet 6, OB-6, Prophet 5/10, Softube Model 84, Arturia OB-Xa, Addictive Keys Mark 1, and a free bank of 50 sounds for the free VST synth “OB-Xd” - all available on my website www.julianpollack.com.

    A synthesizer performed by a practiced and accomplished keyboardist. Playing with skill and emotion is becoming the rarest musical event on RUclips, with robot blips and bloops prevailing today. Thank you!

    Words cannot describe how good this is...I mean, it is obvious that you can make any synth sound good, but this combination of your incredible talent, the music of Bach and the Prophet 10 is just out of this world. After a few seconds listening you just forget that you are listening to a synthesizer...you are listening to a real instrument...it is the best description I can come up with. But once again, your talent is breathtaking! Many thanks...I can sleep well now!

    I played a prophet 5 when I was like 7 years old at music store and ever since have been absolutely in love with the design philosophy of david smith, and sequential. you do it a whole heap of justice here, the brassy but warm tones you can suss out of this thing are a perfect match for the piece.
    Wendy Carlos' synthesized from Bach and Moog a phenomenon whos wave shape we're still riding today, and you and your prophet perhaps had no choice but to keep on keepin on.
    I dig it

      Analog poly synths excel at Baroque, and have their uses for ambient pads , other than that I prefer analog mono synths for nearly every else.

    Love it! Super clean playing, and I like the timbres you chose for each section. With polyphonic music like this it might even be cool to play each hand on a different synth to give each voice it’s own character.

    • @MCRedstoneFR
      @MCRedstoneFR 2 года назад +3

      Good idea but it would be hard for the fugue for example as it as 3 voices and the middle voice often wanders between both hands
