21.01.2022 Fugue State Films has been in Australia filming for the new DVD recording The English Organ. I was interviewed at length yesterday at St Pauls Cathedral, Melb...ourne by Daniel Moult and Ian Wakeley who maintains the organ discussed Lewiss voicing techniques, examining an Open Diapason pipe and a wooden reed boot and shallot. The team, headed by Will Fraser, has also been to Sydney Town Hall recording the famous Hill & Son organ and in Tasmania the Albert Hall, Launceston and City Baptist Church, Launceston where there are organs by Charles Brindley and Bevington & Son. They now head off to New Zealand to record "Norma", the HN&B organ at Dunedin Town Hall and then to Auckland to the early John Avery organ at Ponsonby and then the colossal new Nicholson at Holy Trinity Cathedral.
