Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Swedish composer crafted this stunning, incredibly minimalist album using a historic meantone-tempered Renaissance organ located in Tangerm眉nde, Germany. Utilizing only sustained organ chords paired delicately with brass instrumentation, the record focuses entirely on the psychoacoustic interactions of microtonal tunings. It is a profoundly meditative, deeply resonant study in early music harmonics.
