Wendy Carlos — Virtuoso Electronic Performances
Bold Tendencies, SE15 4TG , [Venue Details]James McVinnie Ensemble animate the Concrete Concert Hall with the virtuoso electronic realisations of Wendy Carlos, as part of Back to Bach.
This event is supported by Scops Art Trust. The Moog SoundLab UK is supplied with the support of Paul Smith.
In 1962, American composer and musician Wendy Carlos recorded various electronic pieces at the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Centre in New York City – including a rendition of Bach’s Two-Part Invention in F Major, and the Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G Major. In 1967 Carlos would play these recordings to producer Rachel Elkind, laying the groundwork for a collaboration that would evolve into the 1978 album Switched-On Bach. Recorded in Carlos’ studio apartment using the then-recently invented Moog synthesiser, Switched-On Bach featured 10 electronic interpretations of Bach’s music; an unexpected success that reached No.1 on the Billboard Classical Albums chart.
Join us as the James McVinnie Ensemble (James McVinnie, Eliza McCarthy, Siwan Rhys and Hugh Rowlands) pay homage to Wendy Carlos with a sequence of Bach’s works arranged for the Moog SoundLab UK, a portable studio centred around one of the rarest electronic instruments – the limited edition reissue of the legendary 1960s System 55 Moog Synthesizer.
Specially designed by Moog Music Inc in 2014, the Lab is based in the Institute of Sound Recording at the University of Surrey, UK.
