Swedish organist Hampus Lindwall has established himself as one of the most adventurous practitioners of his instrument, an artist who moves effortlessly between the worlds of contemporary classical music, improvisation, and experimental sound. Based in Paris, where he serves as titular organist at the historic Saint-Esprit church, Lindwall has collaborated with a remarkable range of artists - Charlemagne Palestine, Ellen Arkbro, Kali Malone - all while developing a solo practice that pushes the pipe organ into unexpected territory. Lost & Found captures Lindwall exploring the instrument's capacity for sustained tone and slow harmonic transformation, territory that connects his work to the broader world of drone music while remaining rooted in the specific acoustic properties of the organ itself. There is something primordial about the sound of a great pipe organ, the physical presence of air moving through metal tubes creating vibrations that resonate in the body as much as the ear.

Lindwall understands this visceral dimension of his instrument and exploits it to powerful effect, building masses of sound that envelop the listener completely. Yet there is also delicacy here, moments of near-silence where single tones hang suspended in space, the room itself becoming part of the composition. The title suggests both loss and recovery, absence and presence, and the music embodies these dualities beautifully. Lindwall belongs to a generation of organists who have reclaimed the instrument from its purely ecclesiastical associations, revealing it as a powerful tool for contemporary composition. Lost & Found makes the case eloquently.

Matière Mémoire presents the MMXX Series. In anticipation of the year 2020, Matière Mémoire asked 20 great artists to create an original 20 minutes piece and an artwork. Throughout this year, each quarter will see the release of 5 new vinyls, available individually or as a bundle. Each record is limited at 500 copies and comes as a crystal clear vinyl featuring an original track of 20 minutes on one side, and a laser engraved artwork on the other. Each contained in a transparent sleeve printed with the MMXX logo, and each coming with a print of the artist artwork.
