    I really believe Bach wrote music for synthesizer. Back in his day. His mathematical music always seems to travel so well to a Moog.

      I have to agreee, I think he would appprove, I believe Tchaikovsky wrote for the modern electric guitar and if he had been born over 200 years later would have been a successful rock or metal artist.

      The organ is a synthesizer. You could argue Bach DID write for synthesizer.

      @jamesa901 Год назад +3

      Oh I don't think you're far off at all. The biggest complaint from classicalists is that the Moog has nowhere the sensitivity and harmony complexity of a piano. But Bach wrote for the harpsichord, which had limitations very similar to the moog. So yeah - he'd of loved this.

    Electronic music has upset music snobs in the past but it does have a strange, hypnotic, other-worldly and spooky quality that you can't get with traditional instruments and this is a great example.

    Not sure why your wiggling your finger as if it is adding vibrato to the sound. It's a synth...not a violin. It's misleading. And you can't play the "aftertouch card either....aftertouch modulates on the vertical axis not horizontal. 😂 Cool rendition though. 🎉

    • @chaosme1ster
      @chaosme1ster 7 лет назад +1

      You should look up video's of Vangelis playing the CS80. Lots of lateral finger movement which *does* influence the sound. Moving left/right also applies variable vertical pressure, so it's very well possible to add aftertouch-expression by wiggling your finger left/right. I have a GEM S2 poly-AT capable synth, and I can guarantee you that holding a chord and moving a finger horizontally indeed causes the poly-AT to trigger "CS80-fashion". So... "you're wrong" would be the short version of this comment.
