Composed by J.S. Bach.

My preferred environment for listening to The Well-Tempered Clavier is inside a strange, enormous organ.

I spent a long time tweaking the sound on this one but first recorded it while I was wrapping up my previous album South Tower. At the time I envisioned a concept album inspired by Miyazawa Kenji's novella Night on the Galactic Railroad. In that context I imagined the travelers on that inter-dimensional train might hear this faintly on the radio.

I have felt a little self-conscious about this one because the same piece appears on Wendy Carlos's classic album Switched-On Bach. I think my recording is different enough to justify its separate existence. It is more subdued. If you want a thrill I suggest seeking out Wendy Carlos's recording.
