dude.....you've got an "192kHz multi-multi-track-processor" in your brain.....that's insane perfect beautiful ...transcription, playing, expression, handling the organ.....i've never seen nor heard this ever made with an organ. you've just got yourself a new fan, even though i normally am not that much of an organ-listener!! thanks for expanding my horizon!!

I think I actually respect Cameron's playing MORE for the fact that he goes so far out that people DISLIKE his playing.

Thanks for challenging our conceptions of what the organ should sound like! Rock on.

Fantastic work and so much fun at the console!

C'mon Cameron, I know you secretly wanted to piss of the purists and play some countermelodies with your nose. Admit it!

[PaulWesleyBowen]

I admire Cameron C. ... 3 reasons ... 1) he takes on all styles of music and regardless of the diffiulty, plays them magnificently; 2) he may not be the most "expressive" like a Fox, but when I stop listening for what I want to hear and watch, it's impressive, impressive, impressive, 3) he's the only organist I have seen who can move in six different directions manually and pedally and keep them separate and listenable and any organ he tackles makes music with sounds like no one before him.

Man, you´re a genius and I am a new fan!!!! Though I am a guitar player, I found out that the organ is the mightiest instrument in the world cuz of all the registers. Your one-man-show sounds like a whole orchestra. Couldn´t believe how quick you are with hands and feet. This rocks!!!!! YOUR BLOW OUT ALL THE STAIN OF THE PIPES and rock the organ, GREAT PERFORMANCE!!!!

Amazing!  You go CC!!

[69stringibanez]

man i can shred the guitar and play in my own unique voicings and such but holy fuck.........this is the most musically mind boggling thing i have ever seen

The whole performance is amazing - not least in the lack of facial emotion he shows until the very end. (Possibly a result of such intense concentration?) Quite incredible.
