Interview with Marcus Davidson ... 

"Embracing landmark classical pieces and pioneering contemporary compositions, Spire presents an evening of bold exploration into the sonic possibilities of the organ by world-class musicians and composers.
In Spire, organist Charles Matthews, composer Marcus Davidson and operatic tenor Robert Millner play J S Bach, Henryk Gorécki, Arvo Pärt and others. BJNilsen combines real and sampled organ to create a sprawling sea of thunderous sound. Experimental musician Philip Jeck creates virtuoso turntable collages with organ sources from liturgy to rock and beyond.* Christian Fennesz fuses organ tones and electronics into an ethereal chorus. Conceptual artist Leif Inge’s expanded version of Bach’s organ composition creates a beautiful yet thrilling soundscape.**"
