Synthesised Bach - 'Inside the Atom' (LOL !)

[Robert Newman]

A visual arrangement of Bach's music by Stephen Malinkowski contained in the last movement of the 4th 'Brandenburg Concerto', played here on synthesised plucked strings, marimba and vibraphone, illustrated by a scrolling bar-graph score.

LOL !! Great !!! Otherwise called, 'I've got Rythm' !!!!

I can't see YouTube from my current computer (blocked), but I enjoy these videos that Malinowski have created.
For a while, my favorite was "The Frog Round".
Watching Bach fugues and starting to concentrate on the white dots as the notes are activated, it becomes rather amazing to think that one person can synthesize all that information and make sensible music out of it in performance on a keyboard.

Hi there Fretless,

Yes, and the only explanation I think is Bach and his colleagues understood the mechanism by which such organic music could be created. Music of phenomenal complexity and depth. Seeing it like this brings this home to me.

And here's the real thing. This time a performance from my own favourite Bach 'Brandenburg' Concerto - No. 6. A piece which seems to transcend time, space and form. Simply awesome music. Perpetual motion.
