- This music and vide has a festive theme so happy holidays to all my viewers and subscribers! Following in the tradition of Wendy Carlos and Switched-on Bach from 1972 let's play Air on the G String on the Moog synthesizer. The dancers are Pan's People from Top Of The Pops. The synth is a Moog Sub Phatty.
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.
Bach and Mozart would've loved this, for sure.
Who cares what the snobs think?
The music snobs need to ahem... _Bach_ off!
@@zathrasyes1287 Bach especially, his compositions really come alive with the Carlos electronic treatment. He is the original synth-pop composer!
@@Citadin Totally, I did not enjoy classical music but when I heard Switched ON Bach for the first time I began to like more classical music. Electronic covers like this really show the compositions in a new light
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.
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.
just imagine what he could do with all what we have.
I reckon Bach would have loved it..... Pan's people too. Brill!!
This remind’s one of Wendy Carlos music 🎶 from the late ⏰ 1960”s,and the early 1970”s’s!Wendy Carlos is still alive at;9O year’s of age.She has made a lot of music 🎵 over the year’s.I have only two album’s of her’s.But,I used to have three of them.
Reminds me to Wendy Carlos Switched on Bach. Great playing!
I enjoyed that. The choreography was quite good. W. Carlos really helped me connect with Bach and other classic era composers back in the day.
Haunting and sublime beauty. Nothing compares to a Moog.
Nothing compares to a Moog and to JS Bach.
The spirit of my father touches my heart when I hear BACH!
It doesn't have to be so sad though. I lost mt father too. It literally like taking half of my soul away. Then other go. I am no mathematician.
Goosebumps!!! This song, played by Wendy Carlos on Switched on Bach was it that got me hooked on Synthesizers back in the 70s and to the very day. Great playing!!!
Still come back to this over and over and still gives me goosebumps. I love electronic music and classical equally.
With so many sounds and effects availiable in the synthesizer, this is not just a transcription but a piece of crossover.-
Vibrato with the right hand, you sir are ahead of your time 😉
Bach Air is just so powerful....
Absolutely sublime performance.
Absolutely haunting.
Thank you
I'm not sure if JSB was my grand-grand-grand-grand--grandpa, but I like to play this great piece of music on my piano. I like this interpretation very much too. RUclips is frequently presenting it on my screen on the right bar, and I often cannot resist clicking on it, but I don't regret doing so. ;-)
Very nice piece and great arrangement with the vintage English dancers!
amazing neo-classical performance!
Absolutely beautiful! I am looking forward to covering this angelic piece by the Master later this year, but doubt I can do any more brilliantly than your cover. :)
Go for it!
Very, very good interpretation!
Aaaah, Pan's People dancing to Wuthering Heights on Top of the Pops in 1979!
Love the recording, you've inspired me to do my own version - Christmas and not much happening
Perfect for Christmas! Wishing you peaceful holidays! Greetings, Ralph
Oh man, Love this.
Masterpiece.
Agree.
I love this version very much. Thank you!
Enfin, un morceau de Bach, où l'on respecte le tempo!
Ce qui est loin d'être le cas pour Wendy Carlos, que je considère cependant comme un excellent musicien.
Alain.
Pianiste classique.
OMG, is this Woody playing? Bach. oh dear, how lovely. Two thumbs up. Was doing a search on UDO on Bach and came up with this.
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏❤
Beautiful Sound Woody ! Magnificos !
thx gowy!
excellent Woody ! this is a great smoking tune ! hamlet cigar ! well done Woody ! Merry Christmas , hope you have a good one and a better new 2017 ! 😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎅🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
hamlet cigar, that's right, good memory! thanks for all your comments and support, Merry christmas to you and family!
wonderfull ! ! ! ! ! !
Very good for my mind to Gear old fashioned Synths and analog Moog sounth with pulsing envelopes,vcf,Lfo,ringmodulates and a mastering end
Lovely job, Woody - good choice of "voices" in there. Wendy woud be honoured, I think. :)
Brian Grainger Sent me . Clockwork flashbacks 💖
Ohhh you Droog !
Just found this song and been listening to it on repeat for the past couple days at work… I’m a carpenter ! Please link me more of your classical synth work !
follow the link in desc to my bandcamp, glad you enjoyed it!
Hearing it again, I think maybe they Moog Synth might have been popular in South Korea in the late 90sw & early 2000s. I've heard it in Maplestory & some of Highfive of Teenager's songs.
beautiful
Thats Pans People circa November/ December 1972 just after Andrea left and and pre Cherry joining!
Ha...what a coincidence seeing you here Mr. Martin :)
brilliant
synthesizerと言うと、とかくtrickyでstrangeでeccentricな音を使う人が多いが、あなたは素朴で美しい音色を使っているから素晴らしい。
Beautiful
EPIC! Thank You so much.
hi from germany what a time what time ahead she was great fan
I have a Moog Sub 37. This sounds very nice.
Like a vampire movie from the 70's Brides of Count Dracula or something.
Merry christmas , it's great
thumb up Woody...nice video🎹🎧🕪.
Daro 😀
sublime!
wow thats awesome
Great work !!!
Nice job :-) Merry Christmas Woody - look forward to more vids from you next year :-)
it makes me laugh whenever he trynna squeeze the vibrato out of the moog key w his right hand 🤫
Aftertouch.
@@Claude_van aftertouch as a modulation parameter? doesnt work that way on keyboard lmao
@@breadstuff aftertouch controls LFO modulation strength, which controls pitch or filter. Aftertouch can control pitch and filter as well.
@@breadstuff errr on good aftertouch keybeds yes it is.
So fuckn good
I'm reminded of Kate Bush by those dancers in white.
Moog Labs Buffalo NY baby.
the dancing looks a lot like wuthering heights
👍
This is a long shot, but can you do the Leopold Stokowski 11 minute version of Bach's Toccata & Fugue in D minor on this synth? or maybe a song from Phantom of the Opera?
i used to play both (perhaps not that particular version) on piano in pubs when I was a teen. Let me put that on the list of future vids.
You sure you don’t miss that creamy little dish? Or have you beefed up? Excellent cover by the way.
More!
Beautiful babs, dunno what her name is though...
NIIIIICE! :)) Wendy/ Walter, better take note for your next album, that's the way to use synth sounds. LOL
Oh shut up Walter was ahead of it's time, everyone doing it now has it so bloody easy.
@@BetamaxFlippy its wendy man, even if someone dislikes the politics, atleast we can respect the person's choice.
I always thought this song went well with analog sounds.
Isn't it analog from start :-)
Can you really get vibrato by shaking your finger on a synthesizer keyboard? (Without a ribbon controller, I mean)?
you can't, i'm using modulation wheel, but it helps me to feel the vibrato.
@@WoodyPianoShack wouldn't it be possible with aftertouch?
Ok
There's something very haunting about these renditions. I think it's the cold hard sounds of industry and science being used to magically convey emotion.
Where are the repetitions? This tune doenst make sense without them!!!
Stepford Wives are dancing
Beautiful, makes me disgusted towards who i am
Na this is weird neo shitt ain’t cool bro
Bring back Babs. We are sick of tattooed lesbians with purple hair and nose rings. The music is nice as well.
A WHITER SHAdE OF pALE ?
There seem to be two schools of Synthesis. The ELP, Sesame St,and Jeopardy theme,"school" characterized by overswooping portamento, fartz, quax, and Meowz,... and the SOB, Wendy Carlos school,.. which is subtle, nuanced, layered, and above all MUSICAL! somehow this hovers in between... the pretentiousness of the video... increases the cringe factor... WISH I COULD, like it?
so many cringy 70's dance numbers to revive!!
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. 🎉
:) seems just to happen naturally, not trying to deceive you, perhaps because i'm also a guitarist,
Exactly. I think it's unconscious, trying to give expression to the music. I imagine all guitar players do that when playing electronic keyboards.
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.
@@WoodyPianoShack Yep, I'm a synth-playing guitarist and I instinctively do the same thing.
Pretty good.. a sex change might give it that extra something. 😖😁
how dare you put her dead name in the title of this playlist. the disrespect.
?
Wow that’s awful. Bach usually plays well straight and on a variety of instruments - but would it kill you to do even a little phrasing or nuance? Yuck.
