i didn't get into moog for bach. i LOVE it used elsewhere. if you noticed, i said i like the minimoog (specifically, the D), not the original custom modular setup that carlos had built. different sounds. imo, bach sounds really nasty when you use a synth. been listening to too many piano recitals, i guess. my wife's a pianist, so it's tough for me to hear anything but piano playing those pieces.
analoq, i'm not trying to complain or something. this thread isn't about which is better, or the huge history behind it. i wanted to know about people around here that are into this stuff.
all that said, while the concept is as old as the hills and everyone and their brother has worked on a single-synth track at some point (hell, that's how synthesis started, isn't it?), i was more interested in people who frequent this site, and their stories about trying something to expand their horizens. i don't really care about stockhausen - i think his music is frustrating to listen to, and although his ideas were ahead of their time by the time he died he was a pariah in the musical community outside of his circle of friends, used as a joking example by music students to represent something utterly horrible to listen to. i'll say it again: most every 'classical' artist who uses synthesizers drives me insane, since their music only serves to drive people away from modern classicism rather than bring people in. don't say i'm not in touch, since most of my repertoire is based on that same style of music...and i hate it.
now, back on topic. like i said, i'm more into the community and the stories that they've got. anything cool that you've experienced with fooling around with this style of composition?
edit:
what the fuck? this is a conversation that you came in and hijacked. just because you're some synth genius doesn't mean that i have to leave my own discussion.
