All of those who are familiar with the series can be looking forward to a colorful potpourri:

The album starts off with a number of short pieces for portative organ, a small and portable organ which is equipped with only a few pipes. Thus, the pieces are kept short and simple, but are still finished with a "regal" piece played on the "big brother".

The second block consists of four pieces, which had been improvised and submitted for a charity concert that was organised by a few U.S. organists back in 2020 to benefit the NAACP, the U.S. "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People". "Go Down Moses", which belongs to the genre of "Afro-American Spirituals", was eventually chosen by the organisational committee for the virtual concert with multiple international contributors.

Three nature-related improvisations mark the final block, of which the first one ("Tornado & Aftermath") was created upon a personal request from an organist friend of mine in search for an "organ storm for Pentecost". Encouraged by his positive response, two similar pieces then followed later, which should be considered to be modern sound paintings.

The individual blocks are separated by single pieces, which are both affected by Western culture and try to abduct the listener into the realms of Arabian Nights — this way, every style from medieval to modern and from Orient to Occident is again being part of the show.

Tyler Pope (@only1pope_) is an entrepreneur, a father, a football coach, a master barber, and he’s the proud owner of the barbershop, Fadez on 4th 💈

He’s also a dear friend and one of the most genuine people I know 🥰

He recently joined me in the studio to share his story of how he got started in the barber game (39:18), who his mentors were, what it was like opening his business during the COVID-19 pandemic (47:59), as well as sharing some of the most challenging and rewarding moments he’s endured throughout this journey (56:59), plus the keys to what being an effective manager and team leader is all about (1:00:00) 🤝

After sharing why he’s so drawn to mentoring others, be it through coaching or at the shop, we then transition (1:14:20) into some weightier topics as they relate to race, society, culture, and microaggressions. 

We touch on privilege, systemic racism, infighting amongst race and class, the Black Lives Matter movement (1:39:04), the Rooney Rule (1:47:18), the nomination of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, how damaging and discriminatory dress codes can be to people of color (1:22:02), the importance of having strong allies in your own communities, and why local leadership matters. 

This was a heavy discussion but an enlightening and important discussion and I’m thankful for my man not only coming and being his open and honest self, but also for teaching me a few things throughout our discussion, as well as being the role model and positive male influence he is to me and so many others 🙏

If you’re in the Louisville area and you want to support Tyler and his vision, don’t be shy… drop by the shop and say hey or book an appointment using the Booksy app 📲

Full time lead software dev and a passionate spare-time pipe organ player. Adept at picking up, replaying and improvising pieces by ear, but I totally suck when it comes to sight-reading sheet music.

All of my skills are self-taught; starting about 30 years ago back when I was a child, but with the majority added over the past ~10 years, when I first had permanent access to physical pipe organs in Germany and Italy. Heavily influenced by the stuff I watch and play, I'm absolutely NOT the kind of "church organist" that anyone might expect, but focusing on orchestral / VGM / movie / soundtrack themes instead.

If you'd like to know what to expect, you're invited to check out my YouTube channel!
