The opening night of Organ Reframed will feature three new works composed and performed by Anna von Hausswolff, Abul Mogard and Ipek Gorgun. All three artists, known for redefining their fields, will perform their new works with the London Contemporary Orchestra and James McVinnie. These works will push the sonic possibilities of Union Chapel’s Organ to the extreme.‘Its sound is mesmerising, rich and inspiring’ Abul Mogard
Renowned for her ambient doom “Anna von Hausswolff is reinventing rock ’n roll, producing work that is radical yet familiar and shimmering with invention.” The Observer
Abul Mogard was born in Belgrade and spent most of his life working in a Serbian factory.
Mogard states that he started making music after retirement as a way to reconstruct physical and emotional environments that were dear to him. His sound palette is created by synthesisers, Farfisa organs and other devices, some of which he has built himself over the years.
“Abul Mogard is an artwork in itself – a fully realized conceptual project, lush in complex layers, elegant in its simplicity, and fertile in intent. Challenging all of your senses, whether they are sentimental or just logical, the music cuts through all the grime of a developed perception and leaves its essence in pure form.” (Headphone Commute)
Ipek Gorgun is a composer “patiently stitching together a whole sonic universes” (Pitchfork). Her music is full of contrasts and full of meaning. This will be the first time she has written for organ and she will pair it with electronics and the London Contemporary Orchestra.
Organ Reframed is brought to you by Union Chapel Project, in partnership with the London Contemporary Orchestra and Spitfire Audio with generous support from Arts Council England and the Institute of Physics.
