Bach for Computer Bachelors

This is some pretty cool stuff.. Computer music from 1979.

'Carlos Futura "Bach For Computer" 1979
Bach For Bachelors (Preludium 21 - Übungen Für Angänger) Johann Sebastian Bach.

Carlos Futura was a pseudonym for Klaus Netzle and Christian Bruhn (legendary German composer of themes from Capt. Future, Timm Thaler etc.)
It's more a historic- than an masterpiece of electronic/synthesizer music, but nevertheless interesting. '

PLUS the video is full of lovely photos to match the genre/setting!

Ofcourse:
Wendy Carlos, of Kubrick fame (ACO + the Shining) also deserves an honorable mention here - while we are on the subject!

Enjoy! Have a great weekend! ;D

'Ham.

The score for the Shining is fantastic.

Stuff like this - forbidding, abstract, and with a sparse arrangement, is definitely suited to up the weirdness factor for our film. In some scenes, it would be totally appropriate.

Wendy Carlos also did "Switched On Bach" with Moog synths, another (and perhaps the original) Bach/"computer" mash-up?
