Sunday Synth Jam: Synthesist Frode Kvinge Flatland shared his Riding the Classics ‘Switched On’ take on Bach’s ‘big banger’, Air on a G String.
Technical details:
Music composed by J.S. Bach. Performed live by Frode Kvinge Flatland on various synths fed with midi. Tempo controlled by the ergo-bike.
Lol, I get now why he does tempo control with the bike. It moves the swans, I guess.
Nice work Frode! We need more synth performances like this!
Hilarious and he by-God got the Bach right, too. Best pandemic project of the month!
LOL! “Hair on a G String”
There was a cartoon in Playboy a long time ago concerning the young lady who inspired old J. S.’s Air On A G-String.
It’s a testimony to Bach’s resiliance- the music can be played on any instrument and still sound good.
I would like to lobby a request for Mozart’s piano concerto 20 since I’ve never heard it with anything but traditional instruments.
