When the first tower collapsed, the sanctuary filled with the dark smoke and dust that covered much of downtown Manhattan. Fine particles filtered into the organ, clogging its nine thousand pipes and corroding its leather parts).... Owen Burdick, Trinity’s organist and director of music, thinks the church may have found something better: an all-digital organ, installed in 2003 as an “interim” solution, which has been a surprise hit. (It has standard consoles for playing, but no pipes; its software runs on the Linux operating system.) In July, Burdick demonstrated it at the American Guild of Organists convention in Chicago, where it received a standing ovation. “It can do a lot of things a pipe organ can’t,” Burdick says." -- Heather Miller Red Hat Corporate Communications [EMAIL PROTECTED] 919-754-4537 _______________________________________________ Fedora-music-list mailing list Fedora-music-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-music-list
