A new upload to my YouTube channel. https://youtu.be/4bTE0EeJ0WY "The Prayer" played on a Lowrey Grand Marquee organ.
Close ups of the machine and panning across its myriad of
controls during the performance would be more interesting. ;)
Also, why not consider landscape/theatre orientation instead of portrait?
Great suggestion. I will in the future. I originally wanted to just do MP3's but realized I couldn't upload that to YouTube so I decided to have my wife record me playing.
Here is my process:
The sheet music comes in PDF format. I load it into my tablet and use a program which allows me to use my finger to scroll to the next page.
The registrations are loaded onto a USB stick. Once the registrations are loaded into the organ, I use the right kick switch located on the volume pedal to switch from one registration to the next. If you watch the video again, look for a slight tell when I do this. You can see my right knee move quickly to the right.
You can also see my left thumb lower onto the silver touch bar when I want to do a drum fill-in. Because the organ is just a specialized computer, you can program it to do quite a number of functions, and the touch bar is one of those that I use for this purpose.
Might I suggest that if you watch this or any of my videos, close your eyes and listen to all of the various instruments that are reproduced, along with the various beats. They call the Lowrey organ a "virtual orchestra". There probably is not one instrument that it can not reproduce.
Hopefully, you will watch this and all of my videos again and enjoy the music.
