Pirates of the Caribbean Medley Roland Atelier Britt Cawthon

This guy is amazing, look at his feet!!



From YouTube:

This is a 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Medley played live on the Roland Atelier Organ which is really the most awesome keyboard instrument in the world. It is a "one man orchestra." Atelier is a French word meaning "the ultimate studio" and this is truly the ultimate keyboard. Everything is played live on the instrument, nothing is pre-recorded, no tracks, no automatic accompaniments. Everything you hear you can see played on one of the two keyboards and/or pedal board. The percussion comes from the keys on the lower keyboard or the pedal board. Since there are a limited number of these made, I only had a few days to practice and prepare this piece. There are a few mistakes, but they are also part of what prove that I am playing it live. I made this arrangement myself of what I consider the best of the music from the first two movies. In the video you can see several screen shots of the sound setups used, and the names of the pieces as they occur. If you would like to see this video in much higher resolution and sound quality, please visit www.brittsk8.com

The pieces in the medley are: The Medallion Calls, Jack Sparrow, Two Hornpipes, Davy Jones Plays His Organ, and He's a Pirate.

If you want the music, there are books available from all 3 movies in piano solo or easy piano format. I based my arrangements from the music in these books. They are published by Hal Leonard and you can most likely purchase them from your local music store or order them from an online retailer. Go to the publisher's website http://www.halleonard.com/ and search "pirates".

I hope you enjoy this performance!
