Yes, I do like that sort of thing very much. I loved the original "Switched On Bach" LP, and later on, when home computers such as the Amiga made it easy, I enjoyed orchestrating baroque music with all sorts of sound samples, mixing up keys, inverting the voices, playing things backwards and so on. Finally, I began writing code to compose, orchestrate and play it. It was a delightful experiment, one which I keep intending to develop further but so far haven't.

Hi Ted,

Those were the days . . . of Amiga, Commodore 64 and the VIC-20 [I still have a VIC-20

] . . . the 1980s were great, in my opinion.

I had a copy of the Switched on Bach L.P., too.

Thanks for sharing the recordings - I'll respond to them directly and in the appropriate thread (which is in the Audition Room).

Mvh,
Michael
