They are early works where the composer was able to give free reign to his musical imagination and virtuosity. Toccata were originally composed for the Harpsichord and so it is not surprising that they respond well to a percussion treatment. For the Toccatas and Brandenburg Concertos on the other hand we have used combinations of Marimba and Steel Drums to create a really cool sound. For the Fugues we hark back to Wendy and have combined Mega Moog Synthesizers with Steel Drums which heighten the drama and emphasize the sunnier side of his work. Here we are offering a fresh approach based on combinations of some of the latest synthesizer instruments to bring fresh colours to the music and highlight the dazzling counterpoint. In the seventies Wendy Carlos used Moog synthesizers to produce albums of re- interpretations of some of this music. JS BACH ON DRUMS Original New World Instrumental arrangements Bach produced a huge volume of classical instrumental music for the most advanced musical instruments of his day and now we have produced some new transcriptions arranged on New World instruments in MP3 format.
