How can computers illuminate Bach? (MIDI and Musical ‘unbias’)

How can computers help us understand Bach? What is MIDI? In this episode we learn how MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) files, that is, a sort of sheet-music for computers, can help us explore Bach’s music in modern and novel ways. If you don’t read music or play an instrument, MIDI files might be your way into Bach’s mind. Even if you are a virtuoso Bachian, there will be something in MIDI technology that can help you uncover further details throughout Bach’s most fascinating constructions. Dave (of Dave's J.S. Bach page) talks about the 'art of MIDI'My album featuring 'panning' between two upper voices in Bach Three links to Bach MIDI files:1) https://www.midiworld.com/bach.htm2) http://www.jsbach.net/midi/3) https://www.kunstderfuge.com/bach.htm Don't forget to donate to this production: https://www.patreon.com/wtfbachhttps://www.paypal.me/wtfbachhttps://venmo.com/wtfbachhttps://cash.app/$wtfbach And let us know how we are doing, Bach (at) WTFBACH (dot com) Get full access to WTF Bach at wtfbach.substack.com/subscribe
