I love fugues. I really think it is interesting that the fugue has
slight tempo variations. Is that written in your fugue's main subject? I
also like how the sounds themselves get sweeter and more varied as the
piece plays out.
2:13 has some interesting stereo phasing too which I thought was really
cool. What was that?
Thanks for sharing this, fugues rock really hard.

Hey hey,
this is a three (or four?) part fugue, which I wrote for synthesizers:

It is a proper expansion of the "fughetta" inside "The queen is
dead":

This time I did not use the samples supplied by Loopop for his "Mega
contest", but my own hardware synthesizers. The main voice is the
Waldorf Microwave Xt, a hommage to the Waldorf M (wavetable
synthesizer) sound used in the original piece. The rest is all
analogue, exploring both east and west coast synthesis.
Again, there is a lot of automation inside the DAW to make the piece
come alive.
The fourth voice is introduced towards the second half of the piece
and is actually a variation on the leading motif shifted somewhat in
time. I think this is called closed voicing, though I may be mistaken. :)
I hope you enjoy it, whichever techniques or instruments are involved.
Best wishes,
Jeanette
