Symphony Hall Birmingham - help needed

PostFri Feb 19, 2010 2:52 am

I've been asked to help create a sample set of the Johannes Klais organ at Symphony Hall for use in their education work. I am an organist with some knowledge of technology, rather than a computer expert. I'm happy to put the hours in recording samples, finding loops, dehissing etc, but need to find someone who we could employ to take me through the process of turning these into a Hauptwerk sample set, and be a technical consultant. If anyone's interested, you could reply here, or email me direct at pete@peterchurchill.co.uk. Thanks.

Hello Peter,

I understand that a gentleman named Peter Collings was working on a sample set of Birmingham Symphony Hall as a project a few years ago (it would have been in Hauptwerk v1 format at the time - around 2004-2005):

http://www.petercollings.com/organsoundarchive.htm

He hasn't (yet) released the results publicly, so I'm not sure if he actually finished it.

It might be worth contacting him first, to make sure you don't unnecessarily duplicate work.
Best regards, Martin.
