KEYBOARD FANTASIES: The Beverly Glenn-Copeland Story
at the all-virtual, 35th Annual Reel Q Film Festival
As a sci-fi obsessed woman living in near isolation, Beverly Glenn-Copeland wrote and self-released Keyboard Fantasies in Huntsville, Ontario back in 1986. Recorded in an Atari-powered home-studio, the cassette featured seven tracks of a curious folk-electronica hybrid, a sound realised far before its time.
Three decades on, the musician – now Glenn Copeland – began to receive emails from people across the world, thanking him for the music they’d recently discovered. Courtesy of a rare-record collector in Japan, a reissue of Keyboard Fantasies and subsequent plays by Four Tet, Caribou and more, the music had finally found its audience two generations down the line.
Keyboard Fantasies (63 min) will stream from Saturday morning through Sunday night, Oct. 10-11.
Salon members can watch it FREE ($10 off the $10 viewing fee), with promo code sent via regular email blast.
The Salonline Discussion will be on Monday, Oct 12 @ 8:00p.
