  • This is a cover version of the 4th Movement from Walter (Wendy) Carlos's arrangement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony - all done on a Korg X5D.
    Doing this was purely for fun - I didn't realise the extent of the learning curve I was about to experience, or the ups and downs, self-doubt, fear, and all the other emotions that trying to recreate something by such a phenomenal genius can bring (I'm talking of Beethoven himself, of course, but Carlos wasn't far off either)! Thanks to Mike Cox and Jason Fillingham and Barry Hall for lending me their ears, and for their constructive comments, in the past couple of weeks! Ravel's Daphnis et Chloe will be next - or maybe Rhapsody in Blue....

      A reminder: in A Clockwork Orange, this music is used as the background for the aversion treatment for Alex De Large's affinity for 'ultraviolence' as it coincides with the worst 'ultraviolence' possible even a hundred years after World War II.
      The Nazis loved Beethoven's Ninth.

      Ironic really isn't it. The lyrics call for the unification of every man under heaven including Jews, gypsies, homosexuals, ect. Directly contradicting the Nazi's ideology.

    It was the next day, brothers, and I had truly done my best, morning and afternoon, to play it their way and sit, like a horrorshow co-operative malchick, in the chair of torture, while they flashed nasty bits of ultra-violence on the screen. Though not on the soundtrack, my brothers. The only sound being music. Then I noticed in all my pain and sickness what music it was that like cracked and boomed - it was Ludwig van: Ninth Symphony, fourth movement.
