We are very excited to be partnering with composer Michael Cloud Duguay (www.michaelcduguay.com) and musician/engineer Jake Nicoll ( https://jakenicoll.com/ ) on their work to digitally archiving rare, unique and historic organs across Canada.

Equipped with a self-engineered, mobile, solar-power recording studio, Duguay and Nicoll have set out to record organs in coastal Newfoundland. These instruments will be made available as digital sample packs at RCCO.ca, making it possible for organists across the country to play them virtually, using a MIDI controller.
