Bach Bwv 8

[Prospero Barela]

Developingand maintaining bach is a lot of work. We have decided to keep bach free and embrace a business model based on Patreon: how much do you consider bach is valuable for you? If the answer is 0$, or if you cannot afford to pay any price, that's totally fine - we completely understand. But if you can afford to pay us as little as a cup of coffee per month, that would really help. In addition to keeping bach accessible for everybody, you'll also have exclusive access to prereleases, video tutorials, and more.

cage contains ready-to-use modules to deal with many standard 20th- and 21th-century compositional techniques. It is library designed for musicians: you will only deal with musically meaningful parameters, without even worrying about lower-level implementation.

Because of this, cage is easier to deal with than bach; if visual programming with bach makes you nervous, you should definitely consider installing cage and give it a try.

dada is the newest member of the bach family: it contains non-standard graphical user interface for music generation and processing. dada is by design an open box: it is to bach what a laboratory is to a library. All of its components embrace a graphic, ludic, explorative approach to music; most of its components also refer to the worlds of plane geometry, physical modeling or recreational mathematics.

The official bach font is "November for bach", created by Robert Pichaud and automatically loaded at bach startup. "November for bach" is a light version of the famous November font. The full November font covers a wide range of music symbols, from Renaissance to the XXI century, and gives a unique, warm and lively look to your music scores. It is fully compatible with Finale, Sibelius and other notation softwares, and, in addition, is the first commercial music font fully compliant with SMUFL. You can purchase November from here.

cage is a research project by Andrea Agostini and Daniele Ghisi, carried out at the electroacoustic music center of the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genve, supported by the music and art division of the Haute Ecole Spcialise de Suisse occidentale.
