about

Recorded and preformed in several hours at Willem Twee Studios in Den Bosch by recording six church organ parts in F Major and cutting them to three-dual-mono tape loops divided over three Studer tape machines. These loops were played back and dub mixed using only the playback speed, three Telefunken filters and a Russian Big Muff. Afterwards the various takes were layered and processed gently.

These 12 pieces are an exercise in having fun. Much like being a kid and making jams with your friends, these pieces are simply power chords and a little stupid melody, played with little care. I wanted to explore this idea as a response to the rising popularity of organ drone music and how sanctimonious it’s become. I wanted to use the organ for as little as possible but still capture its awesome sound and then proceed to destroy it with tape and a big muff. But mostly, drones are cool, distortion is cool and pitching things up and down is endlessly fun.

Big up Rikkert and Armeno at Willem Twee for helping me figure out and executing this idea.
