The organ's sonic capacity to blow out your eardrums is uncanny. Quite possibly the loudest sound on the planet, the Disney organ — affectionately named Hurricane Mama by Terry Riley — is of the echelon. So like Cameron Carpenter's most idiosyncratic International Touring Organ, it resonates beyond compare.
Cameron Carpenter was recently laughed at on the late night show @midnight. Guest like Chris Delia coined a new title for the flamboyant musician: Future Uber Driver.
While Cameron might be the butt of the joke, his chops at the sticks is unparalleled. A most resounding musician, he is internationally heralded for his unique talent and expert concoctions on the pipes.
But the organ is like a musical skeleton, using breath like the human body to resonate through vocal channels and reverberate off bone. The Disney organ, designed by builder Manuel Rosales and architect Frank Gehry, is a wooden ensemble of pipes that produce an unusual texture and color unlike many of its kind — if any even exist in the same arena.
