Prelude in E Flat from Cello Suite No. 4 by J. S. Bach, on the Moog

Back to the Cello Suites! It almost feels like coming home. This prelude features some striking ideas - the fantastic passages (literally, in the sense of the stylus phantasticus), the astonishing eventual modulation to E flat minor, and the chromaticism that is employed - along with some systematic structural ideas, including the initial phrase that is used as an anchor at different parts of the piece, the descending bass line that undergirds most of the first half of the piece, and the ascending bass line that guides the listener through the relative chaos of the second half of the piece.
I actually recorded this last week and then thanks to a mishap lost the file! So I re-recorded it today.
No guitar pedals used this week for reverb - instead this is the 'Orbit Horns' preset on the UADx Space Echo, which I quite like. I quite like the synth to sound a bit like an organ in a big church for these pieces, which is why I seek out wet effects.

Imagine time travelling a moog back to Bach.

I think he’d find it both very familiar and very strange!

I'm loving these cello suites, but have you considered some Bach's flute works? I'd imagine the Moog would work great for those, too!

[@NoiseSupply]

Thank you! I’m not very familiar with the flute works but I’ll look them up. As it happens though I have a book of Telemann’s flute fantasies and am looking forward to trying them out!

Wow! Outstanding phrasing and feel to your playing, first off. Secondly, cool sound to emulate the "shape" of a cello sound, but in an otherworldly synth tone!

Thank you very much for your kind words!
