about

Johann Sebastian Bach has been a big musical presence in my life from the time that I was little. Whether played as written, or arranged by great musicians such as Wendy Carlos or The Swingle Singers, Bach's jazzy music has remained a constant for me. Similarly, the NES entered my life early. I have always wanted to hear Bach's music rendered on the NES's 2A03, but have had trouble finding other recordings of such. Therefore, I decided to make this album of music. I hope that you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making.
