ORGAN NIGHT – Brace For Impact

The 'King Kong' of instruments crashes together with recycled organ pipes in the hands of converted rock and jazz musicians. Once again, Orgelnatt offers the boundary-crossing organ music in combination with electronics and art on the fringe.

Calum
Builder brings his self-built “(Re)constructed Pipe Organ”, assembled from used pipes from Danish organs. His music has been described as beautiful and overwhelming by the newspaper Politiken.

Saxophonist
Ben van Gelder received his musical education in New York's jazz scene and is praised for his individual, unique sound and artistic originality.

These two perform together with Kit Downes, originally a jazz pianist with an active international career but increasingly known as an innovator of improvisation on the church organ.

The phenomenon
Hampus Lindwall is equally at home on the organ bench in the Saint-Esprit church in Paris
as in collaboration with avant-garde musicians like Phill Niblock and Leif Elggren. He has a fundamentally irreverent attitude towards the organ, which he calls “a medieval synthesizer-King Kong instrument”. His fresh solo album “Brace for Impact” sounds just as raw, and is described as “nothing
less than a revelation”.
