Roland Atelier Organ and more...


I know that this blog has not been updated for a loooong time. My apologies if you've been dropping by and hoping for something new to read and have been disappointed.

Anyway, I've got a couple of videos for your viewing/listening pleasure. I was at the Roland organ workshop today conducted by Ryoki Yamaguchi (who was also here last year). Check out my previous post here. This time around, Roland's newest organ, the AT900C was featured. Being the flagship model of the Roland Atelier range of organs, this model has tons of features that'll amaze any organist.

Ryoki's workshop is a prelude to the concert that he'll be performing in this Saturday 23rd August. Organised by Roland, it's called "The Night of the Keys" because besides the Organ, other keyboard instruments like the Accordion, Harpsichord and Pianos will also take centre stage. Indeed a rare opportunity to witness such a concert, especially the Accordion and Harpsichord.

Joining Ryoki, who's from Japan, will be Ludovic Beier from Germany (Accordion), Lynn Kang (Piano & Harpsichord), Ko Chuan Li & Kong Su Mei (Champions in this year's Roland Piano Fest in both the Classical & Jazz categories).

If you've already bought tickets, see you there. If not, you're going to miss a great concert :-(

As you know, Jazz and Musicals are two of my favourite genres of music and that's what you're going to hear in these videos. By the way, what you're going to listen to is only a little of what the Atelier AT900C can do. I know Ryoki is going to spring a few surprises this Saturday.










Oh by the way, I will not be recording Saturday's concert so don't expect any videos up here ya... :-)
