Prelude in G Major from Bach's Cello Suite No. 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 тра 2024
- When I began this project of playing through Bach's Cello Suites on the Moog, I put my iPhone on a small tripod, put that on a stool, pointed it at the keyboard while I played and took a video that mostly featured the back of my right sleeve. It was rewarded with more views than I expected, and many kind comments, but now that I've learned more about video production and synth technique I wanted to take another crack at it. I'll probably do this for the other iPhone videos that I took as well, in time.
The Gigue from the E Flat Suite is on the way, but needs a bit more practice time! Following that I will need to spend a good amount of time getting to grips with the fearsome Prelude in C Minor.
Keywords: Prelude in G Major, BWV 1007, Moog Sub37
Bach has clearly composed this piece with the Sub 37 keyboard's range in mind.
Haha!
Absolutely. I saw it once in Wikipedia.
I think he actually composed it on a sub37, then went back in time and adapted it to cello
So beautiful. If J. S. Bach was alive, I’m sure he would write music for synths. Thank you for the inspiration.
I’m sure he would! Thank you for listening.

Or some crazy microtonal stuff
I never considered that before, but I'm sure he would have been elated to work with synthesizers. Damn, awesome thought exercise.
i love that there's not really an attempt to sound like an acoustic instrument and the timbre just celebrates the moog for what it is. Much preferred to some of the stuff from the 70s
Thank you! Yeah - and we’re lucky that if we want to hear something that sounds like a cello playing these pieces there are many videos of great cellists playing them already on UA-cam!
Instant sub. Handling such a wonderful organism with such a beautiful and lovely played harmonic IS real...thank you
Yes!!! We need more Bach on synth
I'll do my best to oblige!
Nice 👍🙏!
What a beautiful sound. You have a new subscriber. I really appreciate how you seem to take careful consideration when you play it on the moog without butchering it. Great automation at the end. Keep the live automation coming, they are so beautiful when you modulate the envelopes. Keep it up 👌
Thank you for your kind words!
Superb!.. Like new Wendy (Walter) Carlos :)
That’s a follow!
I'm blissed! 😍
Just lovely. Thank you for this.
Fantastic! Thanks so much for making this new version! Especially the final crescendo was beautiful with the slowly opening filter!
Thank you! I definitely thought it might be something you’d approve of 😄
Beautiful!
So beautiful
This is kinda techno piece with no kick.
A lot of classical music can be transformed to techno quite easily if that’s your thing!
@@NoiseSupplyCool! Do you know which artist have done this?
@@_CoasterNinjacheck out Sythoney
Lovely! 🥰
just awesome!!!!
Amazing!!
This was amazing
Wirklich schön! Danke!
wonderfull prelude
Awesome!
Awesome ❤
🤟
Ooohhh, alright... Yup. There are many Moog performances of this Prelude out there, but I think this one is now my favorite. It's really clean and well performed! Are you opening the filter with a foot pedal?
Have you considered trying some multi-track organ pieces? I think there's a serious lack of synthesized Bach Fugues out there (performed, not just midi-tracked). When my keyboard chops improve to the point where it's possible, I want to try 1-video-per-voice on my Moog Little Phatty. Moogs can really roar, it's a shame they haven't been used much for pipe organ works!
Thank you so much! Yes, I’m using an expression pedal to control the filter. I have thought about recording some fugues but have found that recording anything polyphonic requires heaps more production time! I find that I need to write out individual parts so that I minimise mistakes while recording monophonically and that I need to make a click track to keep things in sync, which is a bit annoying. I am an organist though and know and like many of the fugues, so watch this space perhaps…
Really beautiful. Nicely and thoughtfully done.
Thank you for your comment!
Bravo 👏
Yeah, this is pretty great. Love it.
Thank you!
Sensational
Very nicely played 🙏🏻💎
Seriously brilliant work on this classic N S !
Thank you!
That was transcendent. Automatic sub!
Thank you so much!
Very nice
Beautiful! Also what kind of camera are you using? Great quality!
Love this video! And the sound especially. I am super curious if this is a preset or if I zoom in and check the knobs I might be able to reverse engineer the sound design 🤣 shucks
Looks like its a preset?
comment because this deserves the engagement
Cheers haha
top. you have a perfect legato. i could only achieve that in solo/portamento mode. maybe
Thank you! The Moog has a good keyboard but it can be a bit unforgiving at first - I think I know what you mean.
nice
👍🎹👍
Wow - the RARE keyboardist who also plays synth! Thanks for sharing 👍
Impressive. Subbed.
Much appreciated!
Hey, great video. Could you try to do Fur Elise ? Anyway great vids keep it up :)
i remember my music school lessons with this song and how i was freezes on exam and was totally not able to play it) was shackled by fear of live playing
Exams are hard, for sure. Thanks for listening!
Beautiful patch! Is your modwheel sticky too? I have a tribute sub37 from 2015 and it's hella tacky
Haha yes; it's impossible to clean!
@@NoiseSupply I put saran wrap on mine 🙂
This was very lovely. Can I ask what the effect is.
Thank you! It's a modified version of the modulated reverb setting from Logic's Silververb.
I am sure Wendy Carlos would be proud if she'd hear this.
Looking into getting a synth soon, any recommendations?
Awesome! Without knowing what you want to do with your synth, hardware options are great for the tactility when playing and for gigging; software synths are more budget-friendly and can give you more options. Often there is not much difference in sound quality when you compare high-end software to high-end hardware. This Moog Sub37 is a nice instrument and I’d recommend it to anyone who doesn’t need a polyphonic synth.
thus needs to take advantage of the velocity more
Jean-Michel Bach or Jean-Sebastien Jarre ? 😊
That’s a name I had to look up! Thank you for the encouragement.
🎂 🎊 🎉
qui il synth è usato solo come fosse un organo elettronico senza modulazioni o filri live
💢Muito Legal! Tem a Partitura p Compartilhar? 🙂
Thank you! If I understand you properly, this is what you would like: imslp.org/wiki/Cello_Suite_No.1_in_G_major%2C_BWV_1007_(Bach%2C_Johann_Sebastian)
they switched on bach in 2024
Nice but the piece sounds way nicer on cello.
Moogs look a lot cooler than they sound. The main reason this sounds good is because it's Bach, not because it's played on a Moog.
it sounds way, way better on the cello, sorry...
Albeit that I love synthesizers, I agree and I think it comes mostly down to the continuous dynamics of the cello and the resonance of the bass strings. It sounds on the Cello lile you can feel the strings resonating in your fingers. I'm also more used to the Cello version which could also be why.
Beautiful!
