Mailbag: “Delving into Digital”

October 4, 2010

Dear Michael,

Have there been any Pipedreans, performance on the electronic organ systems
using the Digitally sampled stops. Have you performed on any?

John,

Several of the recordings of Cameron Carpenter that have appeared on PIPEDREAMS (those attributed to Trinity Church, NYC) were recorded on digitally-sampled sounds.

I have played several instruments which employ digital sampling. They are interesting, good imitations, but not the real thing.
