    Imagine giving Bach a synthesiser

    what’s funny about this is that there are two existing ideas at play here that already came to pass.

    We can listen to “Switched on Bach” which is what it sounds like when you play Bach songs through a synthesizer.

    Also, there are lots of ways to manipulate the timbre of an organ, which is what Bach actually played. So he was already playing the synthesizer of his era.
