[RealAudio logo]Meditation on Prospect (ostinato improvisation)  As part of a "hymnfest" program July 25, 1998, this was a kind of instrumental "reflection" on the hymn just sung ("How Wonderful the Three-In-One", text Brian Wren, tune from Southern Harmony). A number of sequencer parts (over a repeating 8-bar pattern) were available to switch on or off "on the fly" during playing, with organ added "live". In the actual space, synthesized sounds played off against each other in echo fashion between speakers at the front and rear of the reverberant church. (Yes, it's all synthesizer and organ)

[RealAudio logo]Hausorgel Demo (2 meg)...since moving to Milwaukee, my own synths have been home for the most part, and I've evolved a pretty convincing set of organ ensembles, here recorded with a demo improv (11/29/2000). This is my 2-manual-and-pedal setup - see this link for setup description

[RealAudio logo]Bach's Air from Suite in D (110k) for "strings" and organ... all string expression is handled from the keyboard with velocity/aftertouch... synthesized pizzicato strings in the pedal are added to the organ's 16' principal...

[RealAudio logo]Soon and Very Soon (97k), as I might lead it from the organ -- a hybrid Hammond/electric piano synth sound, organ foundations/reeds, and a synth bass played from the pedal via a (non-velocity sensitive) MIDI interface. (Hymn ends, and John runs off into a short "coda")
