Description: On the evening of Friday Febraury 12th, composer-pianist John Kameel Farah merges the musical worlds of synthesizers and keyboards, with their ancient ancestor, the pipe organ, itself a kind of mechanical synthesizer.
Listeners could shut their eyes and let the sounds cross the space above them. Tones from the organ (a vintage Canadian-made Casavant organ) will be filtered and looped through computer effects to alter its sound and play with the church's acoustics. The concert will be in two halves with a short intermission, with a series of minimalistic and maximalistic cosmos-themed compositions and improvisations.
