And now for something completely different. I love how, in the first transition, he slaps the lower manual to emulate a drum. He keeps WATCHING me through the whole piece, feels almost creepy.
I wonder what the history of performers playing 2 keyboards at the same time is? People around in the 1970s remember Keith Emerson playing an entire stage of keyboards. Here Korla Pandit amazes us with his multi-keyboard virtuosity and exotic scales and sounds.

Wow, now we know who Michael Jackson has been trying to channel all these years!… It’s worth visiting the Korla Pandit website:

Click on the “History Part Two” link there, to get the real (and slightly surreal) story of Pandit.
That is a hoot!
I especially like the flashes from the dangling jewel—definitely hypnotic.
PS: SteveI’s posted link (which appeared after I had posted despite the times given) is indeed well worth a read, although lengthy. It once again shows how much stranger than fiction real events can be.
