about

The organ mentioned in the title does not refer to the normal sustained sounding organ, but the percussive sound of striking a single wooden organ pipe. The sound is from a very low note that was salvaged from a church organ. Other percussion on the track is a gong type sound from a large industrial aluminium lamp shade. This track comes from my experiences of dancing at techno warehouse parties in London, although melodically it is much more drawn out than anything I ever heard in that kind of setting. I have always had an eclectic taste in music. I remember once in the same evening going from an orchestral prom to a warehouse party, and this piece takes a similar journey. The arrangement blends processed brass parts with synthesisers. Maybe a little influence from the Michael Nyman Band can also be heard. On the first drop of the beat Sarah Mann’s masterful trombone solo comes in; a strong line that nevertheless rides the baseline perfectly, sliding and growling in all the right places.
