this is me still on the mechanical action organ in Enschede, Netherlands playing a variation on Psalm 149 by Martin Mans. (It's only part of it memorized and I forgot part of the chorale midway through - eeek)

This is a chorale prelude and chorale on Psalm 92 based on the Geneven melodies. The prelude or (voorspel) is written by Willem Hendrik Zwart and the chorale (koraal) is arranged by his son Everhard Zwart. Played on my Johannus Opus 1100 with a very poor contact system and so that's why there is a cracking in the sound
This is a chorale prelude (voorspel) followed by the chorale (koraal) written by Everhard Zwart, son of the famous Dutch organist Willem Hendrik Zwart. This is played on my Johannus Opus 1100 which has a very poor contact system and therefore you will hear cracking in the sound
During the 2007 "Doors Open" event in Toronto, I visited Deer Park United Church and played their amazing mechanical action Casavant. While doing so, I revisted a favourite hymn of mine.
This is an aria which I came across and don't know who it's by but it on a Czechoslovakian hymn melody written to Alois Botha, organist of St. Elizabeth's Church, Teplice, Czecholslovakia. I played this on my Johannus Opus 1100, which has a VERY bad contact system and therefore you will hear some "cracking" sounds in the music.
This is a beautiful meditative piece by Edward Broughton. This piece is played on my Johannus Opus 1100 which has a very poor contact system and hence the cracking in the sound. The piece also requires a lot of swell pedal action and my plastic swell pedal squeaks!! :(
This is a fun trumpet solo piece with some fun and dissonant harmonies. Would love to play this on an organ with trumpet en chamades! Played on my Johannus Opus 1100 with a poor contact system and therefore the cracking in sound :(
This is me again on the organ at the Julianakerk Veenendaal, Netherlands improvising. (still getting used to the organ). Here's a link to the organ stats (Dutch)

Also the file was to big so I converted it but then b/c it was a trial version it put that stupid writing across the screen
At a church in Enschede, The Netherlands - got to play it. Near the beginning you'll hear a nice MESS - not quite used to the non-AGO pedalboard! And I didn't take my shoes with me in my suitcase :(
My cousin gave up his 1/2 organ lesson for me to play on the organ where he practices (Julianakerk: Veenendaal, Netherlands). Didn't bring shoes and was picking out registration but I got helped! :|
At Deer Park United Church, Toronto doing a little bit of an improv on Oh Canada (on the last few measures here though). My wife decided the turn the camera on its side for this one.
This is another arrangement of mine on the famous melody by Adolphe Adam. It was played on my Johannus Opus 1100 in my home. The sheet music is available in the download section of www.organsandorganis tsonline.com
Playing the tune Ellacombe on my Johannus digital organ with our good friends' blind son getting a feel for the organ. Sorry for the video being "sideways"
Newer pipe organ in the "Hervormde Kerk" in Moerkapelle, The Netherlands. I got to play on this organ for a bit, but didn't record. This is the church organist
some guy playing some jazz tunes on the piano at the Interior Design Show on February 24, 2007 in Toronto. On a side note, if you want to see amazing things - go to this show!!!!
On my trip to the Netherlands in 2006, I heard a some great bell/carillon playing. Here is an example of that in the city of Leiden. I don't remember which building that was. If you know, I'd love to be reminded.
