WOW ....Bill that was AMAZING!

I can only dream of ever playing like that.
At my age its would take another lifetime.
Thank You for sharing this wonderful video.

Wow. What keyboard is he using? What kind of backing tracks is he using for the drums and rhythm?

Pretty much all of it is played live with any backing played and programmed by himself (He has also included a Midi recording of the last part of the performance as a demo on all the instruments)
No 3rd party sounds or instruments were used.

You didn't mention what kind of instrument, Bill, and what size keyboards(upper/lower) it has.

I'm curious.

Ian

It's either Wersi Verona or Wersi Scala, both upper and lower keyboard is 61 keys long. Quite powerful, but as well big, heavy, and expensive "toy". :-)

More info at: www.wersi.com

Thanks, kalimero...I thought the piano playing on the 61 note upper keyboard was impressive.(in fact, ALL the playing was pretty impressive!)

One could buy several arrangers for the price of one those babies, I imagine.

Ian

I have had the pleasure of hearing Mark live on a couple of occasions. He is English but lives and works in Germany..He is undoubtedly one of the very best organists in the world today.

Trevor

The sound system is the same on all the instruments, (Arrangers and Organs) with variations being keyboard combinations, speaker systems etc.
The instrument being used is a converted Spectra (Pretty much all Wersi instruments built since 1984 can be updated to an OAS instrument) and is the equivalent of the Verona, with 2 61 note manuals and a 25 note full pedal board.
Arranger keyboards start with the 76 note Ikarus and 61 note Abacus.

Bill
