Sylvain Monchocé — Multi-instrumentalist improviser

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 album was released on ScatterArchive

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.
