The latest release from "office M," which produces classical music using DTM, is Bach's "The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book I." This is undeniably one of Bach's greatest masterpieces, often referred to as the Old Testament of keyboard music. It is a collection that is both familiar to piano learners and incredibly challenging. Composed using all keys, "The Well-Tempered Clavier" consists of preludes and fugues, totaling 48 pieces (across two books), each with its own unique character and charm, yet together forming an unparalleled, grand universe.
Originally, I thought of taking this collection to a deserted island, as it seemed like a work that would reveal new discoveries no matter how many times it was listened to. With that in mind, I aimed to create music that I would never tire of listening to for a lifetime. I selected virtual instruments from this perspective and used the electric piano sound source "Wurly" by Audio Thing, which felt most fitting for this music. The gentle timbre, reminiscent of a music box, perfectly complements Bach's calm atmosphere.
That said, listening to the entire collection is quite a task. For me, it was always a collection where "starting from the beginning, I would run out of steam midway," "the odd-numbered pieces are easier to listen to than the even-numbered ones," and "the preludes are more approachable than the fugues." However, I have now come to appreciate the magnificence of all 48 pieces, especially the latter half from the 12th piece onwards, and the beauty of the minor key fugues. I encourage you to listen starting from the latter half as well.
Artist Profile
office M
Office M (also known as Studio M) performs and distributes classical music using DTM (Desktop Music). Instead of arranging the music, we use the original sheet music as it is and perform it freely on the computer. This allows us to create classical music that retains the original sound while also possessing a different kind of charm.
