Organon: Rodgers Concert

Collaboration with Organon, featuring Aleksey Vylegzhanin

recorded in February 2022 at the Kunstuniversität Graz (concert-recording due to current Covid-19 audience restrictions)

This project was designed around the Rodgers Organ/Schwarze Orgel at the Institute for Church and Organ Music at the Kunstuniversität Graz. The impetus behind this recording was a research project by Pablo Mariña, in which he modified the timbre of the organ with access and modulation at the sampling rate of the organ. Subsequent works were then conceived to create a concert-length performance, including a piece by Alyssa Aska that requires prerecording sections of MIDI in order to perform (as well as a specific tuning system) and by Martin Ritter that makes use of different tuning presets to demonstrate the difference in sound. Aleksey also performed a piece by Boris Filanovsky that contained several complicated stop changes.

Program:

Boris Filanovsky – Infinite Superposition #3, iteration 1

Alyssa Aska – every star. every planet.

Martin Ritter – Nexus 2

Pablo Mariña – d.b.a. No. 2
