In 1986, Beverly Glenn-Copeland’s pioneering synthesized musical explorations were self- released on an audio cassette entitled Keyboard Fantasies. That album went largely unnoticed for thirty years. After studying classical music and recording two folk-jazz records withthe CBC Studios, Glenn-Copeland began experimenting with electronic sound in his Atari- powered home-studio. Through rich oral history, performance footage, and intergenerational exchanges, Keyboard Fantasies: The Beverly Glenn-Copeland Story presents an audio- visual tapestry of Glenn’s full life, from growing up in the Greenbelt Knoll neighborhood of Northeast, Philadelphia to his first international tour at age 74.

UK-based Posy Dixon began her filmmaking career at Vice London before co-founding the documentary and audio-visual production company Luca in 2014. Dixon’s music-driven project, Keyboard Fantasies, is informed by her previous work in music video production. Dixon has made films for Channel 4, BBC Worldwide, and Wired, exploring music, identity and the intersection of science, culture, and the arts.
