Gamut inc presents their first album for computer-controlled pipe organ, transforming Berlin's second largest instrument into an acoustic synthesizer — exploring overtone series, cascading canons and spectral transformations.

In 2010, Marion Wörle and Maciej Śledziecki discovered that pipe organs could be controlled via MIDI. This technique, largely ignored by the organ world, became the foundation for a fundamental rethinking of the instrument. Over fifteen years, they developed sophisticated algorithms and control techniques, revolutionising the possibilities of the computer-controlled pipe organ. As founders and curators of the Berlin Aggregate Festival, they have created a widely recognised platform for contemporary organ music.

The music on radiating was created over several weeks at the organ in the Chapel of Reconciliation, situated on the former death strip along the Berlin Wall. The resulting sketches were then adapted for the organ at Auenkirche — the second-largest pipe organ in Berlin — and enriched with the colourful registers of that larger instrument. With millisecond-precise algorithmic MIDI control, the opening track circulating features glissandi that dissolve the boundary between pitch and movement. In pulsing, a sorting algorithm generates surprisingly emotional chord progressions — what begins as abstract computation unfolds into sprawling structures of near-symphonic force.

For gamut inc, the computer-controlled organ is not primarily a vehicle for demonstrating what lies beyond humanly playable music. Their interest lies in expanding the instrument's own sonic language. radiating means precisely that: technology becomes the medium for a return to the origins of this powerful instrument — and to a music that is sensual, physical, and ecstatic.
