I found this years ago and just rediscovered it. SO awesome.

A pipe organ tribute to Michael Jackson performed at Trinity Church Wall Street, NYC. You'll hear a few different themes, but I especially like the fugue on 'ABC'.

Also gets and tags because of the compositional techniques used.

This is my fight song.

This is the most gorgeous tone on trumpet I've ever heard. And what phrasing and dynamic control!

This gorgeous piece is always on my mind in Autumn, but especially this year. Choral music doesn't get any better than this, folks. I'm very excited to be performing this in a few weeks.

WOW. This is a STUNNING performance and recording of Bach's "Little" Fugue in G Minor, BWV 578.

The organist is Paul Jacobs, whose reputation precedes himself.

Recording engineer is Christian Amonson, who I occasionally speak with on Gearspace.

Both are at the absolute top of their craft, and it shows.


Love pipe organ? Put this through your best audio system and crank it. There's quite a bit of 16 Hz low C in there, if you have headphones or subwoofers that can do it.

This is the best performance of this transcription I've heard, and also the best recording. Oh, and it's a sampled organ!

J.S. Bach - Sinfonia (from Wir danken dir, Gott, wir danken dir, BWV 29)
Transcription for organ solo by Marcel Dupré
Sebastian Kuechler-Blessing, organ

Here is a modern version of a Mensuration Canon, where the same melody is played simultaneously at different speeds by augmenting or diminishing note values proportionally. In this case, many different rates at the same time. Otherwise, it's just a descending a natural minor scale, played on alternating short and long note values.

It's a beautiful day for laying down some vocal tracks.

Bonus points to the first who correctly names the mic and DAW I'm using.

Yes, someday I need to invest in room treatment.


After almost 2 years of not touching it since my last attempt, I have decided to renew the hunt for my White Whale. I'm surprised how much of it is still under my fingers.

I notice my search results are very limited in the mobile app. For example, searching returns only a very small fraction of the posts under that tag. I haven't had a chance to log into desktop to compare.

This piece has affected me deeply for a long time. Turn out the lights, put on your best cans or sit in the sweet spot of your stereo, and zone into it.
