Latest progress on re-learning this piece with the dynamics of a pipe organ. Two obstacles: I don't have MIDI pedals, and my input controller has a slow piano-weighted hammer action. So I split the piano with pedals on the bottom two octaves and a single coupled manual on the top five octaves. Since I don't have three hands, it produces some distinct challenges. Hopefully I've struck a balance.

Toccata and Fugue (Partial) in Dm, J.S. Bach BWV565

Recorded on my iPhone in the garage where it was 30ºF. Both my fingers and my Leslie rotors were really cold. You can hear them rotating more slowly at the beginning and then speeding up as they got warm.

Clair de Lune, Claude Debussy

Now with more B section!™ Yes the drums are very not right. If you can figure out how to make Logic's drummer do jazz, you're better at Logic than I, so I would like to mind meld with you.

Empty church, iPhone in hand, weather lovely, extra 5 minutes to spend...what to do?

Played on the 1988 Morel organ, some of which was originally the 1920s Wurlitzer in the Pioneer Theater in Lamar, Colorado. The rest is recycled from other organs.
