| Description: | John Kameel Farah is a Toronto composer, pianist, electronic musician and visual artist, fusing the music worlds of renaissance and baroque counterpoint, free improvisation, Middle-Eastern texture, ambient minimalism, techno and electroacoustics, to synthesize an entirely original sound. A virtuosic keyboardist simultaneously using piano, laptop sound sculpture and sequencing , synthesizer and at times even harpsichord and organ, his creative efforts are fueled by exchanges of physical, spiritual and emotional energies on both a macrocosmic and microscopic level. In an effort to see the larger picture, his music draws upon an interest in history, mythology, painting and drawing to help deepen his understanding of life and the human condition. In 1999, after meeting Terry Riley after a performance at the Kitting Factory in NYC, he had private lessons at his home in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. Toronto’s NOW Magazine named his as Best Pianist 2006.
