Synthesist frodello shared his live ‘Riding The Classics’ performance of Mozart‘s Turkish March.
Unlike other ‘Switched On’ style synth arrangements of classical music, frodello’s take on the Turkish March is recorded live, using an exercise bike as a MIDI controller.
Here’s what frodello shared about the details of this performance:
Music composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Performed live by Frode Kvinge Flatland on various synths fed with midi.
Tempo controlled by the ergo-bike.
Swans made by my mum.
I’m glad some one is at the forefront of this. This is a sincere statement.
I read this and thought it was referring to SWANS, aka Micheal Gira. That was actually more confounding that the actual subject of the post.
Same, i was really excited.
I love this so, so much. Thank you. This YT page is a treasure and the fact his videos currently average around 30 views makes them even better somehow. But I also hope this changes
Prof. Peter Schickele would be proud.
Meanwhile, somewhere between Sam Battle and Young Einstein, right upstairs from Baron Munchausen…
Surrealistic, to say the least…
I love the swan dancers. Great idea. The rest was a little too silly.
He patched them into a wing modulator.
Ha, Ha, Ha,, Ha…! whew.
if you drop acid, I’m sure it makes perfect sense 🙂 Delightful!
I loved it. I have always loved the “switched on classical” style of music going all the way back to the Wendy Carlos original – even the sillier ones. Very few artists do this genre of music anymore and I really miss it. In fact, I am unaware of anybody who does it atm.
When you said Swans, I was expecting the band LOL
