Whoa Jameson. I hope Hans Zimmer is crediting you when he's stealing that idea. What a great experiment and you've put in a lot of effort with the camera angles. I really enjoyed it a lot. Awesome playing on top. I am running out of very short sentences filled with praise so two remarks: Thanks for the samples, I can't tag you on social media because I left those cesspools long ago. If I use them I'll try to send something over. Give Patreon a shot. Just to see how many people will land there. I'm not interested in perks but I would put some hard earned money towards supporting you ;) Again. Awesome stuff, keep going, don't care about viral organs. The right people will find you. Cheers!
I used to service and repair organs (the pipe kind sometimes too!) and I have a Matriarch and I so glad someone married these two together, and done well! Thank you for this gift of sonic fortitude!!!
What a fantastic, awesome, massive beautiful sound. Glorious took me right back to my early day in the church choir. Always loved that bone shaking low end that the organ can create then you added what I consider one of the most amazing synthersizer's to be released for some years and WOW!
I appreciate the elegant stereo workflow of the matriarch. Imagine the additional capabilities with 2 fully independent VCFs instead and an additional pair of relatively simple AR/ASR envelopes plus maybe an extra octave on the keybed.
That stuff you were doing at around 11:30, with or without the Matriarch, was mystical. You are right about the quality of the strings, and your playing suits it.
Awesome vid and clearly you've put some real effort into bringing this to us. Much appreicated! Dad has been a church pipe organist since he was very young and I've grown up with a huge appreciation and love of those mighty beasts (I play a little myself). Having also grown up listening to Wendy Carlos in the early days and now with a passion for all things analog (esp. synth), this is just heaven for me (no pun intended). Cheers and big thanks from Sydney, Dave
Absolutely badass. Your work shines here. Beautifully done man. Wow you have serious master organist experience. Love all the camera angles and editing. Sounds wonderful!!!🙏🏻
Wow those organ string sounds are to melt away with. Great video. Amazing organ. That thing is Goliath! Seems to me there is an opportunity to perform a church synth hybrid performance in that very venue.
This is sweet. As a classical trained pianists who has some organ experience at church Just getting into synths and electronic music, this is really intriguing and exciting
Patreon yes. I'll be your first patron. Seriously. I'd happily pay to go even more in depth on this stuff. In fact, I feel a bit guilty for all I've gotten from you already without paying for it.
This is great! A nice experiment and interesting ( funny) video too. Coming from a background as an organist too and also dived into electronic music a creative boost too.well 👍
This is so fantastic! I would love to hear your rendering of Jehan Alain's "Choral Dorien JA67" with your paramount treatment on the Matriarch. Bob Moog would be hugging you right now.
Like a symphony with multiple instruments framing the sound, the pipe organ encompasses similar traits with its massive pipes and room ambience. By itself it sounds fantastic ... no need for outside electronics....or so the traditionalists might debate. Virgil Fox was a revelutionary organist whose vision was to take the sound of the organ and expand its tonal qualities through its electronic versions at that time ( many years ago ). I believe he used a Rogers organ in a concert setting. Because synthesizers at that time were mostly mono with only moderate capabilities compared to todays modern synthesis and techno advancements, they weren't really embrased to its community. In this demonstration, there was quite a bit of tonal variety when partnered with the Moog synthesizer. Amazingly, the sounds he was creating was only based on the two instruments. Makes you wonder...what sound tonalities could be created by adding multiple synths and sound elements. With virtual instruments this can be achieved to a certain extent....but it would probably not capture the spontunaity, sound and organic quality that Jameson's demo demonstrates here. Kudos to forward thinking.....
The Matriarch really brings this organ to life. @Tim Hecker, are you watching this : )? Clearly, a lot of effort has gone into this video. Thanks for sharing.
wow wow wow. this is so inspiring dude. when's the album coming out? i feel like if you pour yourself into this combo it could be really a thing. like YOUR thing, if you know what i mean. amazing work!
appreciated the explanation of how the organ works. did you notice any discernible lag between key presses and audio out from the matriarch? also love the sound you were able to get, very epic and impactful
Not much. There’s some latency due to it taking a trip through my interface, plus the microphones are set back in the room, but it wasn’t enough to be distracting as I played.
It’s a 70 rank Aeolian-Skinner (opus 1498 I think). Originally a smaller Austin when they built the building in the 20s, but then Skinner completely overhauled it in 1968. One of the most expressive I’ve played.
How do you know what is happening with the matriarch when you’re playing? Is it running through speakers and basically mixing with the dry signal of the organ? What are we hearing? The same thing you heard? Or the full wet coming out of the matriarch?
There’s both a fully wet Matriarch and dry Organ signal running parallel in my daw so I could record both independently and mix them later. The Matriarch is coming through my headphones so I can monitor what’s happening while playing.
@@JamesonNathanJones awesome! I get it now. Thanks so much for the response. Was expecting to speculate with other commenters haha. very cool experiment. If I make anything cool with the samples I’ll be sure to share.
I am very curious what make of organ that is. It looks so much like the (three manual) Casavant organ we had at Christ Church Cathedral in Ottawa Canada. Casavant has made pipe organs for many churches in the States so I wonder if this is one of them. It sounds absolutely fantastic.
I'd like to recommend this album named "Obsidian" by Kit Downes on ECM. Kit usually plays Jazz piano, but this album recorded with several pipe organs in the U.K. It's a compelling album. I'm wondering if you have access to a few pipe organs in your region? I think that you altering the sound with synths and effects would make a nice variation on that idea. Check out this video. ua-cam.com/video/B4s1sM8ouPs/v-deo.html

Much appreciated as always friend! 🙏
I often say the pipe organ is the first real synth with the mixing of sounds. A perfect pairing.
Organs were one of the first forms of sound synthesis!
@@JSaltyfabricator Acoustic additive synthesis?
This is incredible!!!!
Thanks Emily! Love your work!
I used to service and repair organs (the pipe kind sometimes too!) and I have a Matriarch and I so glad someone married these two together, and done well! Thank you for this gift of sonic fortitude!!!
How does this video not have >1M views! Well done, and awesome use of the old and new! Keep doing what you’re doing!
What a fantastic, awesome, massive beautiful sound. Glorious took me right back to my early day in the church choir. Always loved that bone shaking low end that the organ can create then you added what I consider one of the most amazing synthersizer's to be released for some years and WOW!
This is so compelling and such an awesome use of the Matriarch!
Thanks Alex!

Good grief that was awesome. Thank you!
1:32 Aw c'mon. You're brilliant! Thanks for the great vids. Awesome quality and fun to watch. Better than basic cable.
The underwater flute sounds with delay were by far my favourite … bigger isn’t always better! 😎👍🏼
That was really, really cool. Especially the last piece. Well done!
at 10:21 those strings are definitely a vibe ,when you put it through the Moog OMG my mind was blew.
You know your video exits often make me laugh. Lol.
Brilliant, those sounds have a real ELP vibe 👏🏾👏🏾🔥 Great combo, inspirational work 👏🏾
Haha yeah it occurred to me that once it started really driving the Matriarch’s mixer it sounded a bit like a Hammond 😂
That stuff you were doing at around 11:30, with or without the Matriarch, was mystical. You are right about the quality of the strings, and your playing suits it.
They’re really magnificent. I wish it truly came across in the video the way it does in the room.
Absolutely wonderful! Your wit and creativity never dissapoints! Thanks for the samples
Not by any means the coolest of ideas but the resultant sounds fully justify the experiment. Well done!

Thanks for all the effort and time that went into making the video! Such a great idea and the track made with the samples is really cool.
Absolutely badass. Your work shines here. Beautifully done man. Wow you have serious master organist experience. Love all the camera angles and editing. Sounds wonderful!!!🙏🏻
Thank you Jon!
Simply amazing and sounds out of this world! Hope to see more of this duo again.
I'm at 15:30 now and it's absolutely massive and lovely! Ambient drone music with a church organ. Wow!
Wow those organ string sounds are to melt away with. Great video. Amazing organ. That thing is Goliath! Seems to me there is an opportunity to perform a church synth hybrid performance in that very venue.
This was superb! SO much amazing pipe organ content right now 🤣 I'm into it
Amazing stuff, especially "string" stops part, beutiful progression aa well. I'm surprised how nicely these two instruments complement each other.
They do get along really well!
Zbigniew Wolny, That's the beauty of keyboard instruments☺️
So cool! Those really interact very well sonically!!! And as usual great melodies and progressions!!!!
🙏🙏
Jameson, always enjoy your videos. This one was exceptional.
Thanks man!
I love your work. This is *brilliant*. Never stop!
This was great!
This is sweet. As a classical trained pianists who has some organ experience at church Just getting into synths and electronic music, this is really intriguing and exciting
Cheers! Fun times ahead :)
Dude this I if absolutely incredible work. 🙌🏽
Absolutely amazing! I have a matriarch and a korg M3 which has an amazing pipe organ sound. I've got to try something like this out! Thanks!
really enjoy your videos. the tone of your voice is calming and content always usefull and inspiring or entertaining:)
😭 so beautiful
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. Great idea, fantastic sounds. Just lovely.
Patreon yes. I'll be your first patron. Seriously. I'd happily pay to go even more in depth on this stuff. In fact, I feel a bit guilty for all I've gotten from you already without paying for it.
Thanks Zach! Really appreciate the support as always :)
thanks for the samples!
Woa. This is stunning

This is AMAZING! 👏👏👏
Is the ultimate East Coast / West Coast mash-up? The pipe organ being a massive additive synth 😜
Just wonderfull and very interesting.
beautiful
That's a lot of fun! Hopefully you enjoyed it, other than your stomach eating itself. 😅
Oh yeah it was a lot of fun! Next time I’ll be sure to pack a protein bar 😂
Not sure if I need an organ or a matriarch now...
Serioulsy man, that's brilliant!
Clearly both. 😅🙏
This is very cool!
Thanks Kenny!
This is such a compelling use of the matriarch. Love to hear some Messiaen harmonies through it some time! Part 2...?
There will definitely be more of these. I think I still have my Messiaen scores around here somewhere….
Awesome video good sir
And your approval is all that matters 🙏
That sounds really good !!!!
🙏🙏
The Matriarch really brings this organ to life. @Tim Hecker, are you watching this : )? Clearly, a lot of effort has gone into this video. Thanks for sharing.
9:45 This part gives the organ a Phantom of the Opera Rock sound!
Immaculate 🙏
Awesomeness 👍🏻
wow wow wow. this is so inspiring dude. when's the album coming out? i feel like if you pour yourself into this combo it could be really a thing. like YOUR thing, if you know what i mean. amazing work!
Thanks man! I definitely have some things in mind for incorporating the organ more 🤓
appreciated the explanation of how the organ works. did you notice any discernible lag between key presses and audio out from the matriarch? also love the sound you were able to get, very epic and impactful
Not much. There’s some latency due to it taking a trip through my interface, plus the microphones are set back in the room, but it wasn’t enough to be distracting as I played.
Oh man, that`s a great job you`ve done! It`s fucking awesome, I have FM-synthesizer and now I wanna to make something like that with it
Great video, I would like to ask about the patching part, what exactly did you patch there? I guess it's some kind of lfo on pitch or sample and hold?
Great idea - I know where to get the synth, but where is this fantastic organ?
In a small town in Mississippi, surprisingly.
Yes yes yes! ❤
🙏🖤
Great; now I have pipe organ GAS.
Amazing work.
Look Mum No Computer needs to see this...
Ironically, I’m the one not playing it with a computer 😂
On your organ videos, I keep trying (unsuccessfully) to read the builder's plate. Can you provide more info about the instrument?
It’s a 70 rank Aeolian-Skinner (opus 1498 I think). Originally a smaller Austin when they built the building in the 20s, but then Skinner completely overhauled it in 1968. One of the most expressive I’ve played.
@@JamesonNathanJones Thanks.
Full distortion and resonance of the Matriarch for an ear bleeding organ of hell !! HAHAHAHA!!!
I could listen to 8:00 all day.
That's what I'm talking about🧐
How do you know what is happening with the matriarch when you’re playing? Is it running through speakers and basically mixing with the dry signal of the organ? What are we hearing? The same thing you heard? Or the full wet coming out of the matriarch?

It’s an Aeolian-Skinner. There are a number of them dotted around the southeastern U.S. Fantastic instruments. 👍
OMG!
12:54 🩷🎹
Wow! Now if Johann Sebastion had a Matriarch... Of course, someone would need to invent electricity first. 😁😁👍👍
Did I miss a wind organ having a line out?
Haha if only… Would’ve made my life a bit easier.
খুব সুন্দর কাজ।
tim hecker is shaking
Not using an envelope follower may have been a missed opportunity
Or maybe something saved for when I bring my modular rig 😏

Nice! I’ll have to check that out for sure. Definitely have some music on the way the utilizes the organ in unique ways :)
amazing! Lets hope it is not a sin tho you shall not burn in hell!
travis scott vibes
That’s was hot. Nice stuff!
