  • There's a New Organ in Town

    From Mike Dippel@21:2/125 to All on Saturday, September 16, 2023 13:43:12
    My wife and I just returned from California for the debut of a new organ. Because I am the web designer for Marco Mendez, we were invited to his
    home for the debut. Marco was commissioned by Fletcher Music Centers to produce a new Estey brand organ.

    This is happening at the same time that the Lowrey organ is trying to make a comeback (the last one was manufactured abut 7 years ago). We saw the
    debut of the Lowrey one week earlier at our local Fletcher Music dealer.
    Both are great organs, but really there is no comparison. The Estey
    is much superior.

    The new Estey is half the price of the top of the line Lowrey. The Estey
    has a much better sound, and it contains every Organ ever produced in
    the past, all in one machine.

    This was a 2 year project, and well worth the wait.

    It may take another 7 weeks or so to get them stateside from Italy. Cannot wait. I will start adding new videos to my YouTube page once I get my
    hands on it.

    Look forward to your upcoming videos, Mike.

    Great stuff with these devices and the music you can make on them.
    I was not expecting to favor this kind of music before I just started listening to your clips and just relaxed.

    Well done!

    I can have one if that may win a chance to take your attention.
    It's a bit nerdy stuff and if that resonates I can try to continue privately.

    I'm a demoscene coder. I do retro on modern platforms but slowly trying to make my visual effects more modern as I regain some forgotten skills.

    Regardless of details the theme in my digital art I like to experiment with (musically) are slow, ambient, with a bit of suspense.. can be murky and I really love the idea to connect that less with typical electronics, more something like a 3-4 mins max theatrical theme like Hans Zimmer alike and dynamics or sense of drama like in a trailer movie.

    Not sure if you can compose, but if you could support such a project from audio perspective then I'll triple my motivation you don't regret having your audio connected with visuals effects computed real time!

    If you want to hear great concerts, done by the maestro, go to: https://www.marcomendez.net/videos_concerts/

    I do his website for him and he is a musical genius.
