Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded on the monumental pipe organ at 脰rgryte New Church in Gothenburg, this purely instrumental project functions as a sonic study of the instrument's vast acoustic capabilities. The compositions draw inspiration from the Sacro Bosco gardens in Italy, translating its mythical, grotesque sculptures into heavy, minimalist drone landscapes. It completely strips away her usual vocal presence to focus on the mechanical breath and overwhelming physical resonance of the organ.
