The animated series about the life of Johann Sebastian Bach...
9,000 subscribers! What started as a small project to bring the human story of J.S. Bach to life has grown into this incredible community. It has been a long journey, but your support makes every drawing worth it. Thank you for being part of this!!! #Bach #animated #series #animation
The Bach saga continues! Tune in tomorrow at 18:00 CET (UTC+1) for the first of a series of epilogues which tell the tales of what happened after Bach died. Thank you for the voice, Phil! www.youtube.com/@philhoggmusic Here's the link to the premiere tomorrow: youtu.be/0kRj9P0ly3I
Today, Bach, The Animated Series has reached 8,000 subscribers, and I’m honestly overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you for believing in this journey, for celebrating Bach’s genius with me, and for keeping his spirit alive in such a joyful, creative way. With all my appreciation, Peter
I'm thrilled to announce that Bach, the Animated Series has been selected for the For Artists By Artists festival! This is an incredible honour because here the judges aren't industry specialists or movie critics, they are the filmmakers themselves. Thank you very much!!! www.fabafilms.com
Brilliantly performed by Gus Gouldsbrough... MANY THANKS!!! www.youtube.com/@PopeGustav www.riverstudios.be Music: J.S. Bach, St. John's Passion, BWV245 by Ensemble Imero. Original recording: youtu.be/ut8JiXtyb9M?...
At the end of his life, Bach suffered from cataract. And it wouldn't end well for him... www.youtube.com/@BachTheAnim...
It's taken me longer than usual to recharge myself and start work on the next episode, the final episode of the Bach Animated Series nonetheless, but progress in ongoing. Here's a first teaser...
Now that the Bach animated series is coming to a close, I'd like to pay homage to Dorothea, Bach’s eldest daughter, here wonderfully interpreted by Daria Nitu. This short tribute is for her and for anyone who's ever felt unseen, underestimated and who continue unabated when others forget to notice.
There are moments in life when silence is heavier than words, and solitude feels like a piercing blade. I'm walking through one of those moments now, quietly, with dignity, I hope. If you're struggling too: hold your head high, keep your heart open. Pain doesn’t define us, how we carry it does.
The end of the Bach series is coming nearer. Some sorrow is necessary, like night before dawn. This pain, though heavy, is not the end. From it, something tender will be born. A joy that nothing will ever take away. #Bach #animated #series #animation #biography #drama
Episode 27 has now been out for 10 days, and I’m truly touched by the response so far: Approval rating: 100% (134 likes so far!) Channel-wide average: 98.8% Thank you to everyone who’s supported it with such kindness. Your comments and encouragement mean the world to me. youtu.be/cLmTK2OqLhg
After a long absence, Dorothea will reappear in the closing episode of the series. Overshadowed in the history books, Dotty was likely the quiet pillar of the #Bach household. Her return is a tribute to those women who carry so much on their shoulders, often unseen, but never unimportant.
And finally... a message to thank three men who've been instrumental in making the series what it it is today: Trevenen Harry - as the mayor of the mayor of Leipzig Alexander Mellor - as the vicar Abid Shamim - as Mr. Ernesti Jr. Thank you very much for your kind contributions! #Bach
And here's a big thank you for the young and promising American actor and film maker Lewis McClain, who's interpreting the role of Christoph Altnickol, Bach's favourite student. Don't forget to check out his YouTube channel here: youtube.com/playlist?lis... Thank you very much, Lewis!!! #Bach
What I've noticed is that autism's become a "hype", even a fashionable excuse for bad behaviour in children. Even science has become more interested in creating a spectacle than to do real science.
Here's another fragment of upcoming ep. 27 in order to thank: Bruce Thomson - king Frederick the Great Liam Tobin - Emanuel Bach Nabil Hanna - who's playing the organ so wonderfully in the background Thank you very much!!! #Bach #animated #series #animation #biography #drama
I have autism. I flew fighter aircraft. I had meetings with ministers and secretaries of state during my career. I performed with my band at a major rock festival. I wrote a bestselling book. My animated series about Bach's life has already won 4 major awards. Go fuck yourself, RFK Jr.!
Hard at work on ep. 27! #Bach #animated #series #animation #biography #drama
Please let me introduce Bruce Thomson, a professional actor who's so kind to offer his voice for the part of king Frederick the Great. And he does it with such conviction that it's sending me shivers down my spine. Thank you so very much, Bruce!!! #Bach #animated #series #animation #biography
Let me introduce another great actor who's contributing to the series: Liam Tobin, a professional studio engineer, musician and artist, who's doing the part of Emanuel. Please also check out his electronic music project Somatic Waves: soundcloud.com/somatic-waves Thank you very much, Liam!
After a month's work, I finished the longest and most complex scene of the entire series thus far. The Bach lovers among you will probably already have gathered by now which important event in Bach's life will be described in the upcoming episode... ☺ #Bach #animated #series #animation #biography
Dear fans of the Bach series, Work on episode 27 is well under way, but bear in mind that this is going to be the most complex episode of them all, by far. So please be a bit patient... it'll hopefully be worth it... #Bach #animation #animated #series #biography #drama
Here's a message to thank the real star of the series: Grace Winpenny, the extraordinary actress who gives a voice to Anna Magdalena, Bach's second wife. She's contributed to 9 episodes so far, selfless, relentless and of exceptional quality. Thank you, Grace! #Bach #Animation #Animated #Series
A fragment of upcoming ep. 26 to honour Lewis McClain who's doing such a great job interpreting Christoph Altnickol, Bach's favourite student. Thank you, Lewis! www.instagram.com/_luis_little... #Bach #animation #animated #series #biography #drama

Bach suffered one tragedy after the next during his life. But perhaps it's exactly because of his internal pain that his music's so full of emotions. #Bach #animated #series #animation #biography #drama
Prince Leopold of Köthen was one of Bach's few patrons who really appreciated the unparalleled beauty of his music. Masterfully interpreted by David de la Hunty. #Bach #animated #series #animation #biography #drama
