DA Music (BE)
In recent years, composers such as Kali Malone, Sarah Davachi, Anna von Hausswolff, and Claire M Singer have released a wealth of works that place the organ (with or without pipes) back at the center of attention. Time for the next step, thought Zimoun, a multidisciplinary Swiss artist who frequently explores the intersection of acoustics and kinetics. For several years, he studied a unique third prototype of a dynamic wind-pressure organ in Bern Cathedral, where the air pressure and wind volume can be continuously controlled for each pipe. This results in “Wind Dynamic Organ, One and Two,” a richly modulated sound where sound and air noise complement each other more strongly, and the texture sounds even fuller and more turbulent than in classical designs, even more so in the second track than in the first.
