Description:
I've always maintained that Bach invented jazz, and Beethoven disco. As proof of the latter half of my contention, I offer the third movement of the Mondschein sonata, slightly reworked.

Ok, yes I know that this sounds really cheap. Hey, it was done on a Roland D-10, about 20 years ago. This was the keyboard version of the MT-32, the first multi-timbral sound module. It was state of the art at the time! This comes of an old tape that I found a while back.

Hardware:
Roland D-10

Software:
Super48 (competitor of Steinberg's Pro24)

Ok, so I went to my favourite stock photo site (istockphoto.com) and typed "beethoven". For some reason I got lots of pictures of St Bernards....

Oh yes. Do you remember that scene in the first Bill & Ted movie, where Beethoven is rocking out in a music store? I find that totally believable. He would have gone bananas over our music technology.

Even Without the Movie... &mdash 05/31/08 - 08:17:59 PM
...the St. Bernard makes sense, somehow. Do you remember all those "Hooked on Classics" albums they used to sell on tv? This reminds me of that concept, but there's tremendous passion and soul in your playing that cuts through the digital tremendously well (plus you don't have a hand-clap rhythm track, which is always a bonus).

I love this arrangement and agree with Ridd that this is really an amazing performance. Those moments of incredibly rapid notes sometimes sound like an uphill waterfall. Wonderful.

Excellent &mdash 05/31/08 - 11:12:53 PM
This is great. Of course I pictured Ludwig himself playing the whole thing and getting down at the same time. Nice playing, and great idea. Very cool. Peace.

every classical musicians lies secretly a jazz artist waiting to break forth!

Not cheap sounding... very cool piece of music, and quite a performance. Kudos Vic.

When I read Classical, I'm thinking, &mdash 06/24/08 - 07:54:06 PM
violins, oboe, bassoon, french horns and such as that. As soon as this started, you could have pushed me over with a feather. But then as I listened on, I realized this was a serious attempt to bring Beethoven into the 20th, or make that 21st century.

The funny thing is you made it work in spades. In my minds eye I can see Beethoven sitting there at that D10 and hammering out the score while smiling from ear to ear as he realizes the power he has in his hands. What a vision that is.

This is wonderful Vic, thank you for doing it and sharing it. Kudos my friend.

Ed

p.s.

On a personal note,
I apologize for not coming here to check out your music sooner, it was pretty rude after all the times you checked out my stuff. An error I will try to not let happen again. Please forgive my arrogance.

Respectfully.

Ed

Too coooool &mdash 07/03/08 - 09:33:17 PM
I am not much of a fan of Disco (publicly) lol. I am a fan of this. You are one eclectic artist.

very nice! &mdash 07/28/08 - 12:40:33 AM
I have the Don Dorsey version (Beethoven or Bust) and this one is just as good.
I wholeheartedly agree with your thoughts of Bach and Beethoven too.
I fell in love with synt-classical as a teenager and my feelings have not changed. Thank you!
