Please enjoy my latest synth offering. This fugue is playful, yet in a minor key so it sounds mischievous. The ending goes completely off the rails in the best possible way. Bach definitely had a wild side! 😀

Ever since the Spielberg “West Side Story” came out, I’ve been obsessed with this song. It’s so “cool”! Bernstein is one of the great American composers of my lifetime. I hope we did him justice here. Please enjoy!

Leonard Bernstein's "Cool Fugue", from Symphonic Dances from West Side Story, played upon vintage synthesizers and other rock instruments.

Had sooo much fun learning to program the Third Wave and MemoryMoog. These two are the ultimate power couple! Also had fun incorporating movie clips from "Metropolis", "War Games", and "The Andromeda Strain" 😀

It’s March 21. We wish Johann Sebastian Bach a “Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag” (heartfelt happy birthday)! I am so thankful for the joy and healing his music has given me. Here are my offerings for this special day!

Here's a fugue that Bach wrote in the style of an Irish Jig.
As great as his genius was, he could still let his hair (or wig) down from time and just have fun.
Recorded on four Moog synthesizers. Trying out a new visualization program called MIDITrail (thanks to my friend OrzoMondo), but haven't quite mastered it. Look for more elaborate visuals in the future. Enjoy!
