Positiv Pfeifenorgel Harmonium 18​-​23 by Štarr W.

Pipe organs play a unique role among musical instruments, providing both visual and sonic contributions to some of the most otherworldly spaces ever designed. Positiv Pfeifenorgel Harmonium 18-23 by Štarr W. explores every forgotten corner of the pipe organ, encouraging us to mentally reconstruct their acoustic spaces as we listen along. With our mind’s eye, we envision brilliant cathedrals with rear balconies flanked by towering pipes, erupting in pious fanfare to a congregation stunned into resignation and worship. Puffs of air, vibrating sustain, and deep reverb provide ample acoustic layers to this record, giving the album something unique to offer in the crowded field of drone ambient. The unique effect that a massive metal pipe has on a colossal stone room will never be properly recreated digitally, leaving these inspiring mechanical beasts as a relic to an age when superstition drove the creation of incredible beauty.
