Pipes & Bellows

The organ away from the Sunday service: drones, tunings, machines and a forest.

Nightclouds
Five improvisations recorded on four organs across Europe. On two of them Arkbro plays the 1922 Sauer and the 2018 Utopa Baroque organ at the Orgelpark simultaneously, from opposite ends of the building. She holds the chords down with weights and pegs, and plays the stops instead of the keys.
Music for Intersecting Planes
On Music for Intersecting Planes, Kali Malone and Leila Bordreuil braid organ, cello, sine waves and feedback into a candlelit nocturne of air and overtones, an austere yet tender ritual where space itself becomes a third instrument.
Let Night Come On Bells End The Day
A quietly stunning meditation on sound and space, Let Night Come On Bells End The Day sees Sarah Davachi sculpting slow, luminous improvisations for Mellotron and organ. Each piece unfolds with patient restraint, revealing rich overtone complexity and a dreamlike sense of presence-minimalism at its most intimate and immersive
Tastaturstuecke - Vol 1
Tastaturstuecke Vol 1 introduces 9 outstanding new compositions for church organ, harpsichord and self programmed software. The album comprises the first collaborational recordings of Brian Parks (Atlanta) and Phillip Schulze (Düsseldorf). The two musicians first met in the early 2000s at the famous Wesleyan University, Connecticut, where they regularly attended seminars of their teachers Alvin Lucier and Anthony Braxton.
Variations for Light Waves
On Variation for Light Waves, Linnea Talp deepens her dialogue with the pipe organ, stretching it toward breathy extremes where foggy harmonies, brittle overtones and glints of electronics hover like weather systems suspended between memory and illumination.

Music & Graphic / Organ Improvisations
2025 stock. Five graphic scores realised at the organ by Zsigmond Szathmáry, the Hungarian organist and composer, as improvisations: music that exists first as drawing and only becomes sound when a performer decides how to read it. The programme brings together Roman Haubenstock-Ramati's 'Ohne Titel', John Cage's Music for Carillon No. 5, Shin-ichi Matsushita's Konzentration, Michael Vetter's Der Kreis and Szathmáry's own Omaggio a György Ligeti, so that the organ moves from clusters and long he…
Papotier
Marking the final chapter of a visionary trilogy, “Papotier” sees Pancrace return in full force. A haunting exploration of breath, language, and acoustics, recorded around a historic Silbermann organ in Alsace, the album is a radical statement of sonic identity - fragile, fearless, and gloriously unclassifiable.
Unseen
The innovative acoustic free improvising ensemble Polwechsel, bridging contemporary music and free improvisation in ways that sound deceptively electroacoustic and comprised of Michael Moser on cello, Werner Dafeldecker on double bass, and Martin Brandlmayr & Burkhard Beins on cymbals & percussion, are joined by Klaus Lang performing on the church organ of St. Lambrecht's Abbey.
Melos
Melos is an ongoing series of site-specific works for organ and electronics. By merging sampled organ tones with sustained chords, it creates evolving, immersive textures unique to each venue. Each piece explores and expands the organ’s expressive limits through electronic means.

Today, The Organ Has Played Beautifully Again
William Engelen (born 1964 in Weert, The Netherlands) is a sound and visual artist living and working in Berlin. After having studied visual arts, his focus shifted over time from solely visual to multi-disciplinary works that oscillate between sound and visual arts, between exhibition and performance, and incorporate installation, sculptural, and compositional elements. He now considers himself a conceptual artist who works with sound. Many of his works are site-specific and have been presented…
The Works for Organ
First complete recording of John Cage's works for organ, played by Gary Verkade on the organ of Gammelstad Church, Sweden: Some of 'The Harmony of Maine', Souvenir, ASLSP and Organ2/ASLSP, with 4'33'' on the DVD only.
Soleils Noirs
First in a series of collaborations between artists already on the label. Bruno Duplant on church organ, Alfredo Costa Monteiro on synthesizer, composing remotely a single long-form piece. The vocabulary moves between mass, flow and slow combustion: tonal accumulation that the artists frame in alchemical terms as an athanor of doubt and dream, a continuous sublimation that renews itself. Slow drone built across the organ-synth axis, mastered by Duplant.
