about

Romain C Bertheau pipe organ
Jacek Chmiel electronics, zither, tibetan bowls
Sylvain Monchocé flute, bass flute, alto saxophone

A concert recording from November 2023 as part of the ongoing Organ Sequences series in the Taborkirche, Kreuzberg, Berlin - DIY events which began in 2022, dedicated to organs, performance, installation, and experimental music. The organ played is a pneumatic organ made by the Berlin organ builder Gebrüder Dinse in 1905.

The trio focus on transient moments, where ephemeral events dialogue with eternity - three individual voices bringing different perspectives and depth to the discourse, creating a unique magnetism attracting the listener into a temporal vortex.
High frequencies fly and interfere with each other, creating complex structures which superimpose on the architecture formed and are elaborated on by the deep and wide low frequencies. Lines and shapes cross, merge, dissolve; nothing is lost, everything is transforming, changing, evolving.

Metal combined with piano sounds... The sound of strikethrough is like encryption... Mr. Turing is nearby)) The detached noise textures are impressive, as is the internal failure for the listener when the gluing is detected! A decent job! Notnotice
