I think some people weren't taking the hints that I didn't do those
(although one did mention the vinyl surface noise). The first one was from
Alexander and Kraft's 1812 Overture / Nutcracker album from 1977 done on Arp
2600, Odyssey, and Pro Soloist. The second by Wurman from the early 70's,
done on a Moog modular. Other than some pretty good brass sounds in the
first one, if I had done a version it wouldn't be so cheezy in places and it
would be bigger and more impressive sounding.
>>BTW: I don't mean to compare myself to Wendy Carlos, I could never match
her talent. I just mentioned it, as all that Carlos had available at the
time of Switched on Bach was one modular synth, and had to do everything
track by track<<
Ah, I see. Though that's not unique to Carlos as every modular synth record
was done that way. I even use polyphonic synths that way as in my mostly W.
Carlos style Bach and Scarlatti demos.
