Pachelbel - Ricercare c minor - P. 419 - synthesizer (+ digital piano)

Compositions like these by Pachelbel immediatly remind me of what Glenn Gould said about J. S. Bach's final fugue: "He literally turns his back on every musical tendency of his time" and "reaches back at least a hundred years" to the "north german and flamish composers of the early baroque". Who else would this apply better than to Pachelbel who composed the most extraordinary fugues of his time (he died about 1700)?
Moreover, I am most intrigued by that ancient form of "Ricercare". Literally, it seems to mean something like "searching"/ "exploring". At the same time, is represents the "fugal" form and advances at a rather small speed. I would like to learn more about this ancient tradition. Meanwhile, I love it.
Btw.: the synthesizer is only employed as a sound module to enhance sounds. In other words, it's good old "live" playing.

Quite chromatic, abstract, otherworldly, timeless music.

Very much appreciated!

What a FABULOUS piece of music. i am just discovering this ! It begins with a chromatic crawl upward , and yearningly mysteriously evolves slowly and appears to majestically resolve at 2:40.... then it seems to start again but now crawls chromatically downward, I am guessing as I am relying on my ear alone,... that it repeats the earlier sequence but in its inverted form ! This has to be one of the most SUBLIME pieces I ever heard.

I am very happy you share my delight for this kind of music! Thank you.

Dude, this is it. Unbelievable and great work.
You have a new subscriber. Are you using FL-Studio? It just sounds beautiful man

No. I combine a highly touch-sensitive keyboard (currently the Roland Lx706) with a synthesizer (currently Roland Integra7) employed as sound module (in "real time"). I discovered that the "synthesizer guys" are not always aware of the possibilities these keyboards can bring to the table. Namely, one greatly influences the sonority of one same patch by the way you press the key. Acoustic piano players are (or should be) very much aware of all the subtleties the specific way of touching the keys offers.
