QuoteOrganist Christoph Bull, celebrated for his rock- and jazz-infused improvisational style, will perform songs by Pink Floyd and other artists on Royce Hall's Skinner pipe organ at 2 p.m. Saturday for UCLA Live's annual Organ Recital. The recital will focus primarily on compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach and include two pieces from Bull's new album, "First and Grand," as well as various improvisations and requests from the audience.

Bull creates what he calls "mashup" pieces by splicing classical and contemporary songs and styles. At Saturday's recital he plans to perform a mashup of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" and Frédéric Chopin's "Prelude in E Minor." According to Bull, he gathers his rock influence from groups like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, as well as contemporary songs like Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" and Lady Gaga's "Poker Face."


The link carries a whole lot more but this should give you an idea...
